[NFBAZ-EastValleyChapter] Attention! call to action!

[mark feliz]

Dear Federation Family,

We need your help—RIGHT NOW.

For the third year in a row, we are fighting to pass SB1001, which provides
$1,000,000 in funding for the Older Individuals Who Are Blind (OIB) Program
in Arizona.

[image: ✅] The bill has PASSED the Senate
[image: ⚠️] It is now assigned to House committees—but NO HEARING has been
scheduled

This is the critical moment.
If we don’t act, the bill can stall and die without ever being heard.

[image: ✅] TAKE ACTION (3–5 MINUTES TOTAL)

Please send TWO quick emails:

1. One to House Appropriations (to demand a hearing)
2. One to Senate Appropriations (to keep pressure on)

[image: 📩] EMAIL #1 — HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS (MOST IMPORTANT)

Subject: Schedule a Hearing for SB1001

Dear Representative,

I am writing to respectfully urge you to schedule and support a hearing for
SB1001 in the House Appropriations Committee.

This bill provides $1,000,000 in funding for the Older Individuals Who Are
Blind (OIB) Program, which helps older blind Arizonans gain the skills they
need to live independently.

SB1001 has already passed the Senate and is now awaiting action in the
House. Without a hearing, this critical legislation cannot move forward.

[Add 1–2 sentences about why this matters to you.]

I respectfully ask that you:

- Support scheduling a hearing for SB1001
- Vote in favor of this important funding

Thank you for your time and service to Arizona.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your City]

Subject: Continue Supporting SB1001

Dear Senator,

Thank you for supporting SB1001 and helping it pass the Senate.

This bill provides $1,000,000 in funding for the Older Individuals Who Are
Blind (OIB) Program, which is critical to helping older blind Arizonans
live independently.

SB1001 is now in the House but has not yet been scheduled for a hearing.

[Add 1–2 sentences about why this matters to you.]

I respectfully ask that you:

- Continue to advocate for SB1001
- Encourage your colleagues in the House to move this bill forward

Thank you again for your leadership and support.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your City]

[image: 💡] QUICK TIP

Use the BCC field when sending emails so you can contact multiple
legislators at once.

For best impact, send emails in small batches (3–5 at a time).

[image: 🔥] WHY THIS MATTERS

If we don’t get a hearing, the bill stops here.

This is our moment to act—together.

Let’s make sure SB1001 gets heard.

Please let me know if you need any assistance.

In Federation,

Jordan Moon
