Imagine sitting down at a restaurant, excited to order your meal, only to realize you can't read the menu in front of you.

For millions of people with vision loss, low vision, or other visual impairments, this is a reality every time they dine out.

My name is Noy Levi, and I am a visually impaired Floridian. Over the last several years, I have gradually lost the vision in my right eye. Going out to eat, something most people do without a second thought, has become a reminder that many restaurant menus simply were not designed with accessibility in mind.

Small fonts, decorative typefaces, and poor color contrast can make menus difficult or impossible to read independently. Instead of enjoying a meal, many people are forced to ask someone else to read the menu aloud or make a decision for them.

Dining independently shouldn't depend on how well you can see.

Why this matters

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, millions of adults in the United States live with vision impairment. As our population ages, that number is expected to grow.

Accessible menus don't only benefit people who are blind or have low vision. They also help:

- older adults with age-related vision changes,

- people recovering from eye surgery,

- customers with temporary vision impairments,

- and anyone who finds small print difficult to read.

Accessibility benefits everyone.

The solution

This isn't about replacing existing menus.

It's about giving customers a choice.

I am asking the Florida Legislature to require restaurants to provide accessible menu options such as large-print menus and Braille menus upon request so that customers with visual disabilities can order with greater independence and dignity.

Many restaurants have already shown that this is possible.

Through this campaign, I've worked directly with local businesses, and several Florida restaurants have voluntarily adopted large-print menus after learning about the issue. Their willingness to make this change proves that accessibility is achievable and appreciated by customers.

Why I'm fighting for this

This petition has become much more than signatures.

It has grown into a movement to make dining more inclusive across Florida.

I've spoken with restaurant owners, shared educational content online, gathered signatures in my community, and founded PivotPrint, a business dedicated to helping restaurants create accessible menus and signage.

Every signature tells lawmakers that accessible dining matters.

Together, we can ensure that no one has to choose between asking for help and enjoying a meal with independence.

Please sign this petition and share it with others.

Let's make Florida a place where everyone can read the menu.
