[NFBF-Miami-Dade] FW: Section 504 Email Template for Members

[jorge Hernandez]

Dear Miami-Dade Chapter members:

 

Our rights under Section504 are being challenged and are in jeopardy of
being abolished.

 

What does this mean for individuals with disabilities, specially we the
blind.  Employment,  education, and other federally funded programs will be
taken away and once again we will be faced with the struggles of years past.
No ability to prosper in society as first class citizens.

 

Please find below a template that you can use to contact Florida's Attorney
General asking him to withdraw from this lawsuit

Dear Attorney General James Uthmeier: 

 

My name is [insert name]. I live in [insert city], Florida and am a member
of the National Federation of the Blind of Florida. I am writing to ask you
to support blind Floridians by withdrawing from the Texas vs. Besserra
lawsuit, which aims to declare Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
unconstitutional. This section of the law protects me and other disabled
people from discrimination due to disability from any entity that received
federal funds. This includes schools and hospitals. Without the protection
of Section 504, all strides in educational and employment for blind people
will be jeopardized. I strongly urge Florida to withdraw from this lawsuit,
which will have a negative, detrimental and demoralizing  effect on blind
Floridians. 

 

Sincerely,

[insert name] 

[insert titles in the NFB, if any] 

 

 

 

  Camille Tate, president

National Federation of the Blind of Florida 

Board of Directors

With love, hope and determination, we transform dreams into reality.
