[NFBC-Info] Call for Resolutions for NFBC Convention

[Bryan Bashin]

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
