[NAGDU] FW: My Letter of Resignation

[Sonja O]

I am shocked to read all of this.
Marion, this is awful.
I am so so deeply sorry about seeing you leave. I understand, and it is heartbreaking to learn the background.
Be safe and thank you for all the things you did.
I’m also horrified reading about the guide dog removal. That’s despicable.
Sending warm wishes, sonja

Marion,

I am sorry to see you pull out of the organizations into which you have
poured so much of your heart and soul over these years. I certainly
understand.

An advocacy group should not take a neutral or deliberative stand on
such disgusting, egregious, and uconsciounable behaviors that have
repeatedly been exhibited by SEGDI toward blind dog handlers. Positions
and challenges can always be changed after different new and verified
facts surface. In the meantime, quick and aggressive actions by advocacy
groups like the NAGDU and the NFB are clear obligations that they assume
on our behalf.

Indecision, inaction, and delay are not acceptable. We hear these
deflections daily from bureaucrats. A rapid legal response and
aggressive publicity is warranted in these situations. It is clear that
in our current environment, sympathetic journalists can be found to
deliver these stories and arguments to the general public and to program
donors.

As Mike HIngson noted, "Either we fight for the rights of blind people
or we stop complaining. It really is that simple."
