NFB Helps Win Battle for Blind Federal Employees
Nation’s Blind Podcast

This episode highlights recent developments in a case supported by the National Federation of the Blind, Orozco v. Garland, addressing the right of federal employees to sue their agencies under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act when information and communication technology are inaccessible to them in violation of that law. Roving reporter Chris Danielsen interviewed Ronza Othman, an attorney and president of the National Association of Blind Government Employees, right after oral arguments in the case to understand its implications. Anil and Melissa play that interview, discuss what has happened since the case was argued, and talk about what it hopefully means for the future.   Important links: Voice of the Nation’s Blind blog post about the case News brief about the court ruling U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) report on section 508 compliance Response of Senator Bob Casey to the DOJ report Transcript of this episode
