When Marymount University freshman Ryan Dyck watched the first episode of Netflix\u0092s \u0093Daredevil,\u0094 he thought it was a shame that visually impaired people wouldn\u0092t be able to enjoy the series about the blind superhero. So he started an online petition urging the company to add a visual description option for its original programming.<\/p>\n

Four days later, Netflix added the option.<\/p>\n

\u0093I knew they would take notice and expected the petition to have an effect,\u0094 the criminal justice major from Moorpark, California, said. \u0093But I didn\u0092t expect it to happen that quickly.\u0094<\/p>\n

Dyck had learned about change.org<\/a> when someone from the organization spoke in Professor Justin Goodman\u0092s sociology course. Change.org<\/a>\u0092s stated mission is to \u0093empower people everywhere to create the change they want to see.\u0094<\/p>\n

\u0093It just struck me on a personal level,\u0094 Dyck said. \u0093I thought this would be the perfect thing to start a petition about.\u0094<\/p>\n

Then Dyck contacted the accessible Netflix project, founded by a blind journalist named Robert Kingett. That organization helped spread the word, and within a few days, Dyck\u0092s petition had more than 3,000 signatures.<\/p>\n

\u0093\u0091Daredevil\u0092 is a very inspiring story, not just for blind people but for anyone who might think they can\u0092t change society for the better,\u0094 Dyck said.<\/p>\n

When it comes to social change, sometimes it just takes one person to get the ball rolling.<\/p>\n

\u0093Every little bit helps, whether you\u0092re creating a group on Facebook or starting a petition,\u0094 Dyck said. \u0093That one push may just change the world forever.\u0094<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
