[NFBC-Info] [Fourth Call for Resolutions for NFBC Convention

[bashin at calweb.com]

Dear California Federationists,

 We're getting excited about state convention, and a key part of it, the NFB of  California resolutions.  The window to submit your draft resolutions to the committee is closing fast, next week on October 12th.  The committee is ready to help, but only if we have proposed resolutions.  .

So please take a moment to address the wrongs blind Californians have faced in the past year in the form  of a resolution.  Our committee members will work with you to get the formal language right, but only if we hear from you.

Questions?  Need some guidance?  We're happy to help.  Simply contact me directly via email and we can take things from there.

Kind regards,

Bryan Bashin
NFBC  Resolutions Committee Chair bashin at calweb.com

And see earlier emails, below, for some more background.

Subject: [NFBC-Info] Second Call for Resolutions for NFBC Convention


Hi Federationists,

It's that  time again, just one month until we convene (remotely) for our annual convention.

As a key part of every convention the NFB of California expresses its collective will and policy direction through our resolution process.  Over the years, our resolutions have sparked great changes in the wider world and helped our affiliate define its priorities.

The Resolutions Committee would like to encourage all those thinking about proposing resolutions to get them down and the draft resolutions emailed to us.  Your resolutions don't have to be in  final letter-perfect form with the first draft.  Instead, we want you to think carefully about the key points you'd like to make and especially the actions you would like to specify in the 'resolve' section of your  resolution.  

Unhappy  with a new DOR process?  Are new COVID procedures used in commerce, health care or education interfering with your rights as a blind person?
Are you being shut out of Zoom meetings or other  communications during this shelter-in-place time by your employer, school or local government?  Has a ballot proposition or initiative threatened important rights to you?  These and a hundred other issues can be the source of NFBC resolutions.  But only if you write and  send us a draft.

The resolutions committee will accept all your draft resolutions up until Monday, October 12th at 5:00 pm.  That will give us time to review, ask questions and help guide the  draft resolutions into presentable form.
Remember, by the time of our convention resolutions committee presentation we won't be making substantive changes in resolution language, so please get all your draft resolutions in by the October 12th deadline to be considered.

Please send your drafts directly to Bryan Bashin, Resolutions Committee

I want to thank each of you personally for your efforts to make our resolution process reflective of the diversity in our movement.  I also want o to thank the members of the Resolutions Committee who will help guide your drafts and present them to the full convention next month.

Kind regards,

Bryan
California Federationists,

 

Just a little encouragement to those of you who wish to author resolutions for our State Convention.  The call went out last week for your drafts (see below).  If you wish to lean in on NFBC policy now is your time.  And many thanks.

 

Bryan
