[NABS-L] Join NABS and Democracy Live for an Introductory Call on Sunday, May 1

[Trisha Kulkarni, National Student President]


Dear students,
 
I hope you had a lovely weekend! I am writing with an exciting call opportunity for this coming Sunday at 8:00 PM ET.
Democracy Live and the National Association of Blind Students are coming together for a call on accessible voting. This is our first conversation with the organization as a national student division, but Democracy Live has a strong partnership with many of our affiliates. It is an honor to have the opportunity to speak with them.
We hope to make this an introductory meeting where Democracy Live will learn about NABS and the other way around. This meeting will be about 45 minutes - 1 hour. We will start with introductions from members of Democracy Live and members of NABS. Next, Melissa Carney will present a demonstration of Democracy Live's accessible, remote ballot transmission technology. The demonstration will show how anyone, especially people with disabilities or disenfranchised voters, can remotely and securely receive, mark a ballot, and return it. After that, there will be time for questions, comments, feedback, and enhancing our relationship.
