Dear NABSTERS:
As students, we are constantly battling for equal access to our materials that are provided by our professors, peers, and universities. Materials might include textbooks, handouts, or even learning management systems. Equal access is a right, not a privilege, and as such, we should not have to fight to gain equal access. The time to change this is now. 
One of the National Federation of the Blind's priorities for the 2017 legislative year is the Accessible Instructional materials in Higher Education act (AIM-HEA). As students, we should be on the front lines–after all, this affects us directly. I am calling upon all of you; not merely to join in the fight to ensure equal access for you and me, but for all future blind students who will follow in our footsteps.
You might be thinking now, “how do I get involved?” or “how do I get on the front lines?” The answer is to join the legislative committee of the National Association of Blind Students, a proud division of the National Federation of the Blind.
To join the legislative committee, you only need to call in on the following dates and times, listen and discuss, and advocate for our legislative priorities. The dates are listed below. I hope to see you all on the next call of the legislative committee!
Date: Third Monday of the month
Time: 9 P.M. Eastern, 8 Central, 7 Mountain, and 6 pacific
Respectfully,
Michael Ausbun
Chair | Legislative Committee
Secretary | national Association of Blind Students
