[NFB_of_Georgia] Advocacy Update

[Armando Vias]

Hello all,

I have an advocacy update.

I was recently in a news story regarding the public transportation issue in the Warner Robins area. This is a great city, but I am very frustrated with the lack of public transportation.

I am currently in contact with the Mayor. And, I hope that I will have an appointment with her sometime this week. And yes, there has been some opposition, but we NEED IT NOW! We do not know where the public transportation buses will take us, but this is very important to all of us who can’t drive in the city.

I am looking forward to your opinions/feedback about this issue. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Armando Vias

"The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want. Blindness does not hold you back."
