> As you know, we have been working diligently to urge the individuals who are
> directly involved with the drafting of the Marrakesh Treaty ratification
> package to wrap up their work promptly, so the package can be transmitted to
> the Senate as soon as possible. Since March we have been hearing that this
> was "imminent," and yet, the package has still not been sent over to the
> Senate.

> 
> In order to encourage the drafting process along, we are  reminding our
> partners that it is time to #FeedTheBookFamine. On Thursday November 12,
> 2015, we are urging all of our members to tweet the following individuals to
> remind them that people with disabilities want to read, and that the
> Marrakesh Treaty will expand our access to books. There is a real
> opportunity here to #FeedTheBookFamine!
