> The below announcement is from Coalition for Texans with disabilities. It looks like it could be a very interesting program for some of us to attend. I thought I would share this with all of you considering our desire to raise awareness about the lack of ability for the blind to participate in our voting system Accessibly via the mail.

>> August 12, CTD launches our RAISE YOUR VOICE! Advocate Connection program!
>> 
>> We invite you to join us as we prepare for the 2021 legislature, both educating each other about the issues AND learning how to organize online. Our core issues include: raising community attendant wages, special education, voting rights for Texans with disabilities, ECI and services for children with disabilities, access to dental care for adults, and access to medical cannabis. The state budget and appropriations may make a few appearances as well. 
>> 
>> Our RYV! session are interactive by design. Our advocacy team will speak a little bit about our 2021 priorities, but you'll also be talking with and listening to other participants. 
>> 
>> CTD expects this program to change and evolve based on your needs and desired outcomes. So we hope you'll join us not only to participate, but also to shape RYV! as we all adapt to advocate-from-home conditions!
>> 
>> REGISTER FOR OUR AUG. 12 RYV! LAUNCH

>> Thanks to all who participated in our Raise Your Voice! participant survey! Based on your feedback, we will:
>> 
>> hold our RYV! sessions on Zoom, minimizing visual content to allow maximum participation for people calling in by phone. Our registration page has more notes on accessibility.
>> record sessions for viewing afterward.
>> hold sessions at various times of day during the week to allow for maximum participation (weekdays 2-5 was the most popular time on the survey, so that's what we're starting with)
>> share the agenda, any visuals, and what Zoom features we're using ahead of time.
>> keep our sense of humor as we make mistakes and learn!
>> About RAISE YOUR VOICE
>> 
>> Since 2016, CTD’s RYV! events are designed to provide a functional understanding of our state’s legislative process while connecting emerging and seasoned advocates. These sessions also give CTD insight into the needs and concerns of Texans with disabilities outside our usual circles.
