We now need to hear from blind people in New York who have shopped at the Container Store or have a desire to shop there in the future. Please contact NFB attorney Tim Elder at <a href="mailto:telder@trelegal.com" target="_blank">telder@trelegal.com</a> or
415.873.9199 if you have recently shopped at a Container Store or would like to shop in the store in the future. NFB is preparing to certify a class action in this matter. We need your help to advocate for equal access to touchscreen devices in physical
stores.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
