Contact Congress Members about the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act


We are coming down to the wire on the 118th Congress and we want to make
sure that we’ve done everything that we possibly can in order to advocate
for our legislative priorities. In this case, we are trying to ensure that
the Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act (TCIEA) is
included in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)
reauthorization bill that is currently being considered.

Right now is a crucial time for this initiative because Congress wants to
pass the WIOA reauthorization when they return after Thanksgiving. We need
you to flood the email inboxes and telephone lines and voicemail boxes of
four key committee staff members in order to make sure TCIEA gets included
in the final bill:

Amy Jones
Majority Staff Director, House Committee on Education and the Workforce

Sample Script


When you call or email, you might say something like:

“Dear [NAME]: 

I am urging the [HOUSE EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE COMMITTEE/SENATE HELP
COMMITTEE] to please include the TCIEA in the WIOA reauthorization bill. The
TCIEA will eliminate the payment of subminimum wages for people with
disabilities and eliminate the need for a government program to monitor
special wage certificate holders. Thank you."

If you send an email, please use the subject line “Please Include the TCIEA
in the WIOA Reauthorization” and copy Justin Young jyoung at nfb.org
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=36601&qid=10653565> .

Congress is working diligently to move the WIOA reauthorization bill as soon
as they get back after the Thanksgiving break, so time is of the essence for
us to make our voices heard. If you have any questions, please contact
Justin Young at jyoung at nfb.org
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=36601&qid=10653565> .
