[Gabs] Call to Action: Hearing for HB 891 on Monday, March 19 at 2:00 PM

Good evening Federationists,

I'm writing to share some exciting news and a call to action. Finally, HB
891, the bill to protect the rights of blind parents in Georgia, will have a
committee hearing next Monday, March 19 at 2:00 PM. We need to get as many
people as possible to show our support for this bill during the hearing. If
you are available to come down to the Capitol next Monday afternoon, please
contact me ASAP so we can coordinate our effort and show up prepared to
present a consistent message about HB 891. 

 

Two weeks ago, we had a press conference at the Capitol with Representative
Carl Gilliyard about HB 891. The link to that video is here:

Even if you are not able to attend on Monday, please contact your elected
officials and ask them to support HB 891 and share this link on your social
media to get the word out. 

 

Please contact me with any questions.

 

Sincerely,

 

Greg Aikens, President

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
