Subject: Corrected Links Attend Jury Trial in Los Angeles May 23-25

Dear Federation Friends,

Come join us May 23-25 in Los Angeles for an important legal advocacy event.
I and many others will be watching the jury retrial of the Los Angeles Community College District.  LACCD refuses to resolve our concerns about ongoing discrimination against blind community college students, illustrated by its past treatment of Roy Payan and Portia Mason.  The trial begins on Tuesday, May 23 and is expected to last for three days.

I, blind college students and interested members will be attending to show support and observe the trial.  Each morning at 9:00 a.m. PT, on Tuesday-Thursday, May 23-25, we will gather in front of Courtroom 10A, 10th Floor, 350 W. 1st Street, Los Angeles, California 90012.  I will also be visiting with folks during the breaks to discuss the case and what is happening in the trial.  I expect we'll be going out to lunch and dinner together on May 23 and 24.  I don't get many opportunities to spend time with our Southern California family.  Please make a point to come say hello and advocate for our blind students.  All are welcome to come for one or all days.  College students, particularly students interested in law and digital accessibility, won't want to miss this rare opportunity to see the justice system in action.

Please call or text (916) 382-0372 on May 23 if you have questions or concerns.  You may also contact local chapter presidents and our student division president:
Michael Richardson michaeljr66 at yahoo.com <mailto:michaeljr66 at yahoo.com> ; Rochelle Houston rhouston58 at gmail.com <mailto:rhouston58 at gmail.com> ; Robert Stigile rstigile at gmail.com <mailto:rstigile at gmail.com> ; and Shelbi Felter sfelts at hotmail.com <mailto:sfelts at hotmail.com>

Information about the issues in the case can be found in this preliminary ruling on appeal.

Spread the word and let me know that you're coming.  Let's join the fight for digital access and educational opportunity in Los Angeles!
