Hi Everyone,

 

Your help is needed. Please help us phaise out section 14C. I filled out the

14(c) 
 
NFB Family:
 
What a fantastic national convention! I hope by now that all of you have
made it back home safely, and since our Federation work never stops, I hope
that you are reenergized and ready for action.
 
As you all know, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act established an
advisory committee to examine how we can increase integrated and competitive
employment for individuals with disabilities. During national convention,
Dr. Schroeder and I reported that the committee is currently formulating
their recommendations. The responsible phase-out of Section 14(c) must be
one of the committee's top recommendations, but it will only happen if we
make our voices heard.
 
There are two ways to contact the committee. The easiest way is to go to
www.nfb.org/ice. Here, simply fill out the form, and a pre-drafted email
will be automatically sent to the committee. Alternatively, you can email
integratedcompetitiveemployment at dol.gov. 
The comment deadline is Tuesday, July 28. Other groups have already gotten
underway, so let's make sure the Federation has the largest and most
powerful blitz!
 
Thank you all for your help!
 
Yours in the fight for fair wages,
 
Rose

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.
 
Make a gift <https://nfb.org/make-gift>  to the National Federation of the
Blind and help ensure all blind Americans live the lives they want.
