I am reaching out because I am putting together a rally against the proposed cuts to access-on-demand. It will take place <span dir="ltr">on November 12th at 9:30 am</span> at civic center plaza. This is when the access-a-ride advisory committee and the RTD Advisory Committee for People with Disabilities will be meeting. Our hope with this really is to show the community support for this program and help those making these choices understand how important access on demand is to so many Disabled people in and around Denver. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">Best,<o:p></o:p></p></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">Jude No</p></div><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; line-height: 15.4px;"><span lang="EN" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Maureen Nietfeld<br>Director of Student Services<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span lang="EN" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Pronouns: she/her/hers<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; line-height: 15.4px;"><span lang="EN" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b><span lang="EN">Colorado Center for the Blind</span></b><span lang="EN"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span lang="EN" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Phone: <span dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: underline;">303.778.1130 Ext: 233</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span lang="EN" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Fax: <span dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: underline;">303.778.1598</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span lang="EN" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: underline;">2233 W.
