[Greater-Baltimore] Action on Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1974

[Sharon Maneki]

Hello friends,

The national office is asking that we take action on the Texas vs. Kennedy
lawsuit because it will destroy our civil rights under Section 504. We
should write to kenneth.paxton at oag.Texas.gov. Tell him the following: The
Texas v. Kennedy lawsuit challenges the federal government’s authority to
enforce Section 504 and risks weakening or eliminating key protections that
blind people in the United States rely on every day. This attack endangers
our access to education, employment, public services, and other essential
opportunities. Give a personal story of what you have under Section 504
that should continue. Please write your letter this week (Monday March 23rd
- Friday March 27th). Thank you.

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is
not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Everyday 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.
