The only thing you can count on, besides death and taxes, is that things
don't stay the same for long. Our scheduled meetings with our Senators and
Representative are a case in point. We now have a meeting on Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday. See below and take note. You might have to get up
a little earlier on Thursday than you had planned.
Revised Schedule of Virtual Meetings with our Senators and Representative:

Fact Sheets
Access Technology Affordability Act
The cost of critically needed access technology is out of reach for most
blind Americans. The

will improve affordability of critically needed access technology necessary
for employment and independent living.

I think Senator Tester was a sponsor of this last session.
Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act
Advanced digital interfaces create barriers that prevent blind individuals
from independently and safely operation home-use medical devices that are
essential to their daily healthcare needs. The

Accessibility Act will end unequal access to home-use medical devices for
blind Americans.

Twenty-First Century Mobile Apps and Website Accessibility Act
Websites are required by law to be accessible, but without implementing
regulations most businesses and retailers have little understanding of what
accessible means. The

application inaccessibility for blind Americans.

Americans with Disabilities Voting Rights Act
The constitutionally protected right to vote that is available to all
Americans is inaccessible to blind Americans. The
<https://www.nfb.org/programs-services/advocacy/washington-seminar/washington
-seminar-priorities/fact-sheet-voting-act> Americans with Disabilities Voting
Rights Act will ensure that all methods of voting, including registration,
are accessible to blind and low-vision citizens.

Wouldn't it be cool if when the Senators and representative come on Zoom with
us, they see a whole bunch of Federationists show up from Montana. So let's
try to get as many of us on as we can. See you there!
DON'T MISS THIS ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY!
This is our chance to be more powerful together than we have ever been alone.
See you there!
