> Treaty ratification package (learn more about the treaty here:
> https://nfb.org/marrakeshfactsheet ) to wrap up their work promptly, so the
> package can be transmitted to the Senate as soon as possible. Since March we

> not been sent over to the Senate.

> In order to encourage the drafting process along, we are  reminding our

> 2015, we are urging all of our members to tweet the following individuals to
> remind them that people with disabilities want to read, and that the
> Marrakesh Treaty will expand our access to books. There is a real
