> 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.

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.

> 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!
