> As you know, we have been working diligently to urge the individuals who are directly involved with the drafting of the Marrakesh Treaty ratification package to wrap up their work promptly, so the package can be transmitted to the Senate as soon as possible. Since March we have been hearing that this was “imminent,” and yet, the package has still not been sent over to the Senate.
>  
> In order to encourage the drafting process along, we are  reminding our partners that it is time to #FeedTheBookFamine. On Thursday November 12, 2015, we are urging all of our members to tweet the following individuals to remind them that people with disabilities want to read, and that the Marrakesh Treaty will expand our access to books. There is a real opportunity here to #FeedTheBookFamine!

Below, please find some sample tweets, but also feel free to create your own. Additionally, attached to this message is a Twitter 101 document which gives an overview of this social media platform, as well as other tips and tricks to ensure this is a successful campaign. This document was created by our very own Danielle Trevino, Coordinator for Social Media and Member Engagement.

> The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
