[NFB-of-Delaware] NFB DE Washington Seminar Meeting Information

[cmkries at comcast.net]

Hello all,

 

I hope this email finds you and your families well.  As you know, the
Washington Seminar will take place during the week of February 3rd, and we
are planning to meet with our Congressional representatives on February 4th.
I am in the process of finalizing the schedule for that day and will share
it as soon as I have all the time slots filled.  The three bills we will be
discussing are the Websites and Software Applications Accessibility Act, the
Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act, and the Blind Americans Return
to Work Act.  These are the same bills we discussed last year.  However,
this is a new Congress, and we must secure sponsors and co-sponsors again.
If you have any life experiences that speak to any of these bills, please
share them with us and we can take them to Washington .  Also, please let me
know if you are interested in attending the Congressional meetings.

 

As you know, we practice for these meetings.  Our One -hour practice
sessions are at 1 pm on Monday, January 20th and 27th.  If, by chance we
need another practice date, it will be on Thursday, January 30th.  We ill
use our regular Zoom link for these meetings.  I will send out reminders the
day before the meetings.  

 

Finally, the NFB National office is planning several Zoom meetings in
preparation for Washington seminar.  One already took place on January 9th
to review the issues.  The dates are as follows, and the Zoom link is below
the dates:
