<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Hello everyone,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I wanted to forward a letter that Senate Aging Committee Chairman Bob Casey sent to Senate leadership this morning. The letter calls on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to improve the accessibility of the U.S. Senate’s technology for people with disabilities. While Chairman Casey continues to push federal departments and agencies to improve the accessibility of their technology,
the Chairman realizes that the Senate itself can do better. The letter specifically asks for improved accessibility standards for Senate contractors, routine accessibility scanning of Senate websites, electronic accessibility training for Senate employees,
and resources on electronic accessibility for Senate staff.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Senator Tammy Duckworth co-lead this letter with Chairman Casey. The letter was also signed by Senators Maggie Hassan, John Fetterman, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, and Richard
Blumenthal. A copy of the letter is attached, and you can view a press release at the following link:
