[Lewis, Anil]

Federation:

I wanted to share the following news story about our Fair Wage efforts in North Carolina.  I think you will all be pleased at the progress we are making in getting our message heard.

Congratulations to Gary Ray and the members of the National Federation of the Blind of North Carolina for their role in the production of such a tremendous public awareness piece.  There is also great footage of Ron Brown talking about subminimum wages while serving as the national representative for the NFB of NC state convention.  (You never know when they are watching. :))

Our advocacy is having an impact.  Let's keep applying the pressure.

Sincerely,

Anil
