[MD-AtLarge] Immediate Action Needed

[nfbmd]

Hello All,

 

National Disability Day is today, December 3, 2015.  We need to take action
to get the Marrakesh Treaty moving.  Please help us end the book famine by
taking the action described by Gabe below.  If you do not get this message
in time to do it today, do it tomorrow.  The important thing is to do it,
and do it quickly.  

 

Thanks!

Howdy Federation Family,

Don't forget, tomorrow the United Nations will be celebrating the
International Day of Persons with Disabilities, and this will be another
great opportunity to highlight the Marrakesh Treaty.
