[NFB-Legislative-Directors] FW: Announcing Blind Americans Return to Work
Act of 2025





Dear affiliate presidents and legislative directors,



We are all feeling the swell of positive energy coming out of Washington
SThe first fruit of our Washington Seminar Feb. 3 to 6.eminar. Once again,
it was great to hear all those white canes tapping and guide dogs on the
move. Our hard work, diligent practice, and long days of walking up and
down Capitol Hill have paid off! I am thrilled to announce that our first
major priority has been introduced. The Blind Americans Return to Work Act
of 2025, sponsored by Representative Pete Sessions (R-TX-17) and co-led by
Kweisi Mfume (D-MD-7), has been introduced in the 119th Congress as H.R.
1175.



We expect to put out some social media publicity around this topic later
today and we are hoping you will share the communications with your
networks far and wide. We are planning to get some press attention in the
coming week. Please watch for future announcements and get ready for a call
to action with a legislative alert. For now, sit back and smile, and
celebrate our collective accomplishment.



Warm regards,



Jesse Shirek
