Subject: 2020 NFB Washington Seminar information

 

1/14/2020.

In early February, the blind of this nation are headed to DC for our annual
Washington Seminar. Many of you will be visiting the capitol to speak with
your legislators. The Washington Seminar is an annual event of the National
Federation of the Blind to introduce the agenda of blind Americans--the
priority issues requiring congressional attention over the coming year. 

The issues are selected from official positions of the Federation and may
address concerns in the following areas: relevant civil rights issues;
educational programs and services; rehabilitation of the blind for
competitive employment; the operation of vending facilities by blind persons
on public property; specialized library services for the blind; the
organization and funding of federal programs; Social Security and
Supplemental Income programs; and other timely topics. Three legislative
initiatives are chosen for priority attention during the Washington Seminar.

We have posted the NFB 2020 Washington Seminar Agenda and Fact Sheets on
NFB-NEWSLINE. 

To reach this information using the telephone access method, press five from
