[Capchapohio] Sign this petition and help end the book famine for the Blind

[Eric Duffy]

Dear Friends:

Blind and print-disabled people in the United States and across the world
need your help to relieve the worldwide book famine that prevents us from
receiving an education, attaining employment, and fully participating in
society.
The World Intellectual Property Organization is considering a treaty that
would make more books available to blind and print-disabled people all over
the world by promoting an exception to copyright law allowing books to be
produced in special formats like Braille and to be shared across
international borders.  This treaty is called the Treaty for the Blind or
the VIP Treaty.  Unfortunately, publishers, big media, and other rights
holders like GE and Caterpillar, some of whom have nothing to do with the
publishing of books at all, are complicating the negotiations in an attempt
to water down or kill the treaty.  You can help by sending a strong message
that you support a treaty that helps the blind and print disabled get access
to more books.  Please sign the petition at
https://nfb.org/civicrm/petition/sign?sid=2&reset=1

Also, please share the petition link with your family, friends, and others
who you feel will support this effort.

Thank you for your support.
