Greetings:
It is with pleasure that I announce that Florida has another participant
in this upcoming KJLSP cohort. Please give congratulations to Jorge
Hernandez, President of our Miami chapter, for being selected to
participate in this leadership program nationally. It is a wonderful
opportunity to grow not only as a leader, but in leadership in the National
Federation Of The Blind. It is a year, long commitment, where cohort
participants are expected to actively participate, not only on a state
level, but a National one as well. It is wonderful that yet another member
of our affiliate has been selected for this great opportunity to continue
to grow with our organization

Subject: [NFBF-L] Blind Shell and email issues
Greetings,
I wonder if anyone has contact information for Blind Shell. I have a friend
up here who wants a cell phone, but wants raised buttons, so that excludes
the I Phone. I said I would investigate for him. Also, I have two email
addresses and I cannot send email on one of them, as the messages get stuck
in the out box. The other address works fine. Thank you in advance for any
suggestions.
Mark Tardif

Great news, Federation Family! Just this morning, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 8884, the Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act!
This bill authorizes the Social Security Administration to conduct demonstration projects within the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program. This may not seem like that big a deal, but it opens the door for us to advocate for the elimination of the SSDI earnings cliff through other avenues in addition to the Blind Americans Return to Work Act.
To be clear, this is a big step in the right direction, but we still need to keep up our advocacy for the Blind Americans Return to Work Act, H.R. 1175. However, if H.R. 8884 passes the Senate and is signed into law, it should make it a lot easier for us to advocate for a demonstration project, like the Blind Americans Return to Work Act, to be implemented.
