<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Thanks to the dedicated advocacy work of the organized blind movement and supporters, the Biden-Harris Administration has launched a new initiative to expand the availability of at-home tests that are more accessible. Blind and low-vision people can order one set of two free, more accessible at-home tests from USPS.com (while supplies last). <a href="https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=26407&qid=7322586" rel="nofollow" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Order online through https://special.usps.com/testkits</a> or by calling 1-800-232-0233. Each order will include two rapid-antigen
tests and will ship free, while supplies last.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Because of limited supply, we ask that you only order the more accessible tests if you do not have other testing options. To use the tests, you must have a compatible Bluetooth-enabled smartphone and download and install a free app from the Apple App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android). The test works with the app to provide audio step-by-step instructions for administering the test and audio test results.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Per the Administration of Community Living, this initiative complements the <a href="https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=26409&qid=7322586" rel="nofollow" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline" title="Administration’s efforts">Administration’s efforts</a> to expand production of more accessible tests and work with private sector partners on the development of new accessible tests.</span></span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">The <a href="https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=26396&qid=7322586" rel="nofollow" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">Disability Information and Assistance Line (DIAL)</a> is an additional resource, connecting people with disabilities to COVID-19 vaccination and testing in their communities. DIAL can also provide testing instructions and other assistance with the at-home tests that can be ordered from the government. The National Federation of the Blind encourages contacting DIAL to inquire about accessible testing options. DIAL support can be reached by calling 888-677-1199 or by emailing <a href="https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=26397&qid=7322586" rel="nofollow" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">dial@usaginganddisability.org</a>.</span></span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">While we are excited for this progress, we continue to work for even more accessible at-home testing options.
