> Thank you all so much for filling out the ICE form and writing letters to the committee directly. The commenting period is now closed. As a result of our efforts, over 200 letters were sent to the committee. Together, we are making our voices heard, and it is very likely that the responsible phase-out of Section 14(c) will be one of the recommendations of the WIOA advisory committee. The committee’s interim report is due out next month. I will update you all as soon as it comes out.

> 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.
