SeroTalk Extra: Policy Talk Around the Hill – Winter 2015
Posted on February 23, 2015 by Joe Orozco
Listen to SeroTalk Extra: Policy Talk Around the Hill – Winter 2015

A big thank you to Audible for their continuing support. Download your 
free audiobook at AudiblePodcast.com/SeroTalk.

Stay tuned. The full team returns next week for SeroTalk 224. We also 
hear the Triple Click Home team is headed for the studio soon to record 
Episode 36!

Meanwhile, the legislative season has kicked into gear for blind 
consumer groups in the United States, but even if you do not live in 
the U.S., there is at least one item of interest for blind listeners abroad.

Joe and Laine bring you interviews with Rose Sloan from the National 
Federation of the Blind and Eric Bridges from the American Council of 
the Blind, spotlighting issues that could have an impact on you or 
someone you know.

First, the National Federation of the Blind held its Washington Seminar 
the week of January 26. Their legislative priorities include:

Transitioning to Integrated and Meaningful Employment Act (HR 188)
Technology, Education, and Accessibility in College and Higher Education Act
The Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for 
Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired, or Otherwise Print Disabled
Next, the American Council of the Blind holds its Legislative Seminar 
the week of February 23. Their two imperatives this year include: 1) 
The Medicare Demonstration of Low Vision Devices Coverage Act; and 2) 
Alice Cogswell and Anne Sullivan Macy Act. The ACB is also tackling the 
Marrakesh Treaty. Learn more about these and other advocacy campaigns 
at the ACB’s Washington Connection page.

Though a bit off our usual tech news coverage, we believe the issues 
discussed could have profound impacts on technology in daily use. We 
sincerely hope you will find the issues that resonate with you and add 
your support.

Your comments are very important. Feel free to leave yours here, e-mail

handy iBlink Radio app to send us an iReport.
