Received this from the NABS list and thought some may be interested. 

*Greetings All!*

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming February DARE Call, hosted by the Advocacy committee! This month, we are focusing on: Guide Dog Advocacy and Your Legal Rights.

Join us for an enlightening discussion where we will explore crucial topics such as:

*- Understanding Your Legal Rights:*
 Learn about the rights you possess as a guide dog handler, and how to effectively advocate for yourself and your mobility aid.


*- Navigating Rideshare Apps: *
What should you do if you encounter challenges when using rideshare services? We’ll provide practical steps to ensure you know your rights and how to assert them.

*- Access to Public Spaces: *
Discover the laws that protect your right to access public spaces with your guide dog, and how to address any obstacles you may face

We’re thrilled to have a special guest speaker from Guiding Eyes, who will share valuable insights and strategies for advocating for your rights in everyday situations. Additionally, gain a unique perspective from a current Uber driver who will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the rideshare experience and how we can work together to foster understanding and inclusivity.

*Event Details*:
📅 Date: February 23rd
🕒 Time: 8:00 pm EST
📍 Location: https://zoom.us/my/blindstudents


This call is not just about information; it’s about empowerment. Together, we can create a community that stands strong in advocacy, ensuring that every individual and their guide dog can navigate the world with confidence and dignity.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to gain knowledge, ask questions, and connect with others.

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Osolu Ozo-Onyali. Her email is osoluozo at udel.edu.

Hope to see you there!

Warmly,
Your Advocacy Committee
