Hello everyone,

The Advocacy Committee and Government Legal Task Force is back with another June Gem. The sixth gem is the Seeing Eye Advocacy App.

The Seeing Eye has developed a free app for Apple/iOS and Google/Android to provide information about the U.S. and Canadian laws that ensure guide dog handlers have access to public places and protect them from interference from people and other dogs. The app also contains some educational materials The Seeing Eye has developed on these topics including the Guide Dog At Work campaign and their taxi and rideshare flier.

They  also introduced a direct path to reporting discrimination at the Federal, State, and Provincial levels. When browsing within a specific state or province, there will be buttons located below the listed documents. Activating the button or buttons will provide ways to report Discrimination.

To download the app from Apple’s App Store, go to this link:
