>From Tracy Soforenko, President, National Federation of the Blind of
Virginia

As I have discussed at our state convention and in other venues, the NFB is
committed to advancing Section 508 compliance. Here is another advocacy
effort to get our message in front of policy makers.

 

On Thursday, July 28, Anil Lewis testified before the US Senate Special
Committee on Aging on the importance of accessible federal websites and
technology.
