> In January of this year President Biden nominated Karla Gilbride, an
> outstanding graduate of Georgetown Law School who happens to be blind,
> to serve as the general counsel for the Equal Employment Opportunity
> Commission. Some highlights of her career include arguing a case in
> front of the US Supreme Court resulting in a unanimous decision in her
> favor, and winning a case in which she represented NFB member Joe
> Orozco before the Federal Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit.
> 
> Recently, Karla's nomination was reported favorably out of the Senate
> Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, and we want to
> make sure that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer understands the
> importance of advancing Ms. Gilbride's nomination to the Senate floor.
> That is why we need all of you to please call Senator Schumer's office
> at 202-224-6542 to urge him to bring her nomination vote to the Senate
> floor immediately. You can also email Senator Schumer's nominations
> director, Catalina Tam, at
> Catalina_tam at schumer.senate.gov<mailto:Catalina_tam at schumer.senate.gov>.
> 
> When you call or email, you might say something like:
> 
> "My name is [YOUR NAME]. I am writing/calling to urge Majority Leader
> Schumer to schedule Karla Gilbride's confirmation vote to be the next
> general counsel of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Thank
> You."
> 
> Thanks for all you do,
