Durbin is very familiar with both groups since we have visited his office
many times and Trevor is quite familiar with both groups housed at
Accessliving.

Renee Luna has a group in support of its repeal. Also, the White House has
been very vocal in its support. I will send contacts for both tonight.

Hi NFBI,

Last week, Anil and I met with Senator Durbin's labor staffer, Trevor.  He
sincerely understands our concerns with WIA.  He also understands the
importance of HR 831.

In order to strengthen our case, Trevor said that he would like to see
letters of support from other organizations in Illinois that express their
concerns with WIA, particularly Section 511, or that in general would like
to see the repeal of 14 c.

*Do any of you know of any organizations that you could ask to write letters
of support?  * We already have a letter from the Chicago Lighthouse and I
have an e-mail chain with Access Living (along with articles) stating their
position.  But the more letters we can generate, the stronger Trevor's case
will be when he presents this issue to Senator Durbin.

I know I am asking of a lot from you guys, but making substances changes for
Americans with disabilities isn't easy.  Please use this thread as a brain
storming arena of potential organizations that might be willing to support
us.  Alternatively, feel free to email me directly your ideas.  I reach out
to organizations often, and oftentimes they do support our initiatives.

Thanks for all that you do.

Rose
