Good morning fellow Connecticutians!
As some of you may know, we have been working diligently to urge the
individuals who are directly involved with the drafting of the Marrakesh Treaty
ratification package (learn more about the treaty here:
https://nfb.org/marrakeshfactsheet ) 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!

As Federationists, I urge you to be active on Twitter Thursday. Remind our
partners that Americans with disabilities will strongly benefit from this
treaty. Below, please find some sample tweets, but also feel free to create
your own. Additionally, attached to this message is a Twitter 101 document
which gives an overview of this social media platform, as well as other
tips and tricks to ensure this is a successful campaign. This document was
created by our very own Danielle Trevino, Coordinator for Social Media and
Member Engagement.
As you craft your tweets be firm but polite, and please remember to use
the hash tag #FeedTheBookFamine.
If you have any questions prior to, or on Thursday, please do not hesitate
to reach out to Justin Salisbury, our CT legislative Director.
Let’s go #FeedTheBookFamine so we can live the lives we want!
300 million #pwd, 300 million reasons to #FeedTheBookFamine.

Same Book, same time. #FeedTheBookFamine #MarrakeshTreaty @IntDisability
