TBH, if they're not, all major websites should be looking to contract with you. I would maybe try hitting up the major agencies if you're looking for fulltime work, they have lots of clients and probably get requests for accessibility often. I think you could also get work just by being a prolific advocate for accessible web.

I already couple of agencies in my state, but the problem I am facing is that most companies (governmental agencies included), don't consider accessibility as important or necessary, maybe they believe that way because they're not educated what digital accessibility is and how it is part of the ADA (a federal law). Some HR person once even said to me, "that will expose to our system to 'hacking'". I think people don't know much about digital accessibility, most people associate accessibility to only physical sense.

So, thank you for suggesting advocacy route: that is really a good idea. I have to start that, maybe there'll some opportunities there. Thanks!
