[NHLakesChapter] Fwd: [NFB-Legislative-Directors] Legislative Alert for Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act

[Deanna OBrien]

This is the information I received from Baltimore last week. It came in a
bit late to get out to you so you could specifically promote this with our
reps, but I am forwarding it  now.

You are doing good work.

Dear Affiliate Presidents and Legislative Directors:



Thank you for your hard work during the Washington Seminar a few weeks ago
advocating for our legislative initiatives. We received word recently that
Representative Jan Schakowsky will be introducing the Medical Device
Nonvisual Accessibility Act as early as next Tuesday, February 21. Because
of this development, we need to keep up the continued momentum begun during
Washington Seminar. Our goal is to build the number of originating
cosponsors for this legislation.



We apologize for the short notice, but we need your assistance by having
your affiliate members contact their representative in the House today and
tomorrow and encouraging them to be originating cosponsors. Please have
your representatives contact Gidget Benitez from Representative
Schakowsky’s office at gidget.benitez at mail.house.gov to sign on as an
original cosponsor.



We greatly appreciate your efforts and the work you do to help pass the
legislative priorities of the National Federation of the Blind! If you have
any questions, please feel free to contact me at 410-659-9314, ext. 2210 or
jyoung at nfb.org.

Thanks,



Justin T. Young, Ed.D
