> Friends,

> I write with wonderful news. Thanks to our combined efforts and tireless advocacy for the TIME Act, Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) introduced S. 2001: Transitioning to Integrated and Meaningful Employment (TIME) Act. If you haven’t seen it already, see our press release can be found at https://nfb.org/national-federation-blind-applauds-introduction-legislation-integrate-workers-disabilities.
>  
> While we encourage everyone to take a moment to celebrate the introduction of Senator Ayotte’s bill, it is now TIME for us to start finding cosponsors for the TIME Act—in both the House and the Senate. Thank you to everyone who has alerted us of their efforts to secure meetings with their representatives. We now encourage you to try to set up meetings with your senators while they are home.
>  
> In January, some of you told us that your senator said: “I’d be willing to cosponsor a bill like that, but I do not want to introduce.” It’s TIME to remind them of their promises. It’s TIME to pass the TIME Act, my friends! 
>  
> Yours in the fight for fair wages, which is one step closer to becoming reality,

> 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 to the National Federation of the Blind and help ensure all blind Americans live the lives they want.
