<h1 style="direction: ltr; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 24pt; color: black;">Pass the Access Technology Affordability Act</span></h1>
<p style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: black;">The National Federation of the Blind urges the members of the House of Representatives to cosponsor the Access Technology Affordability Act (ATAA), H.R. 1529. This bill will help
blind Americans afford the high cost of qualified access technology by creating a refundable tax credit of $2,000 for use over a three-year period.</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: black;">Access technology can be expensive but is often necessary for daily tasks such as job searching, applying for work, and completing job responsibilities.</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: black;">Since 2017, we have worked tirelessly to support this legislation because it will expand employment opporunities, reduce financial barriers to technology, and contribute more to
the federal government through income and payroll taxes.</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: black;">Your engagment and support is essential to advancing this legislation.
</span><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: blue;"><a href="https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=42630&qid=12484950" id="OWA7b75336d-832f-bccc-7539-f3c58d02e5f7" class="OWAAutoLink" data-auth="NotApplicable" style="color: blue; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><u>Please
