Dear Fellow Federationists:

 

                The United States Senate is considering whether to ratify
the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), an
international treaty that obligates signatories to protect the rights of
people with disabilities in their countries and throughout the world.  The
National Federation of the Blind supports the CRPD.  You can learn more and
read Dr. Maurer's statement of support at
http://www.nfb.org/national-federation-blind-urges-senate-ratify-convention-
rights-people-disabilities. 

 

Please contact your U.S. Senators immediately and let them know that you
support the CRPD and urge them to vote for its ratification.

 

 

Mr. Anil Lewis, M.P.A.
Director of Strategic Communications
