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: <A
title=https://nfb.org/marrakeshfactsheet
href="https://nfb.org/marrakeshfactsheet"
target=_blank>https://nfb.org/marrakeshfactsheet</A> ) 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.<o:p></o:p></P>

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

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
