> Well our state convention is  little more than six weeks out.  Which means
> it's time for NFB of California members to start proposing resolutions to be
> debated and voted on during our state convention November 3-6.
> 
> 
> 
> These resolutions have real power in guiding government, education and
> commerce to improve their relationship to California's blind citizens.
> 
> They crystalize how our members feel today about important issues, and what
> we want the wider world to do about them.  
> 
> 
> 
> The world has changed  since we last met in person.  A pandemic, a
> contraction of blindness services, new access barriers, to name a few.  Add
> to that issues in transportation, employment, education and personal safety.
> You don't need to  be an expert resolution-writer to make an impact; some of
> our best resolutions have come from first-timers.

> But we do need to hear from you quickly.

> So won't you take a moment to draft a resolution that matters to you?  It
> doesn't need to be perfect, as our Resolutions committee is full of mentors

> what you want to happen if your resolution  passes.  The NFBC website  hosts
> all recent California resolutions available  to use as a model, if you like.
> And all members of the 2022 Resolutions Committee are more than willing to
