[Mdabs] Fwd: [nabs-l] FW: Reminder: International Day of Persons with Disabilities Tomorrow

Thu Dec 3 15:52:54 UTC 2015

Fellow Students:

Please read Gabe's note below and take action today. As students, it is critical that we have access to the same information to which our sighted peers have access. Let's support our fellow blind students from around the world as we work together to end the book famine!

Chris Nusbaum, President
Maryland Association of Blind Students

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.
