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 is not what holds you back.

Rideshare Virtual Town Hall

Hello guide dog community,

We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming Rideshare Virtual Town Hall on
Wednesday, November 13, 2024, at 7 PM Eastern. This will be a
solution-oriented discussion around our challenges with rideshare denials,
covering some important milestones and possible solutions moving forward.

We will have some questions for our panelists, and then open it up for
questions/constructive comments from the audience. If you would like to
submit questions in advance, please send them by the end of the day on
Friday, November 8. Questions can be sent to: gebgradcouncil at gmail.com. You
do not have to be a Guiding Eyes graduate to attend; all are welcome! The
Zoom information is at the bottom of this invitation.

Our panelists will be our very own Melissa Carney, Community Outreach &
Graduate Support Manager, Melissa Allman, Senior Specialist of Advocacy and
Government Relations at The Seeing Eye, Claire Stanley, Director of
Advocacy and Governmental Affairs at ACB, and Raul Gallegos, president of
the National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU), and a Guiding Eyes
Graduate.

The GEB Graduate council recently compiled a helpful document providing
guidance and tips for addressing and reporting rideshare denials. Fellow
guide dog handlers gathered information to counter ongoing infringements on
our civil rights by rideshare drivers and companies. These best practices
seek to hold drivers accountable and promote safety for guide dog teams
confronted with drivers who do not understand or refuse to comply with the
law. While the tips do not represent permanent or foolproof solutions,
those who have implemented them have found varying degrees of success.

During our town hall, we will briefly discuss this new resource.

We hope you can join us for this informative and substantive discussion.
Please share with anyone who might be interested. This issue requires our
collective ideas and potential strategies, so let your voice be heard. We
look forward to chatting with you on the 13th!
