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.  
#MarrakeshTreaty 
Same Book, same  time. #FeedTheBookFamine #MarrakeshTreaty @IntDisability  
@cathyNovelli 
There are 300 million hungry minds in the world.  @IntDisability, you can 
help #FeedTheBookFamine. 
Thanks for your help!
