Dear Fellow Federationists:

As you know, for six years and counting, the Obama administration has failed
to issue regulatory guidance to public entities and public accommodations
covered by the Americans With Disabilities Act. We have just learned that
this morning at 11 a.m. EDT, White House staff and the World Wide Web
Consortium will hold a Twitter chat on web accessibility as part of the
administration's celebration of the twenty-sixth anniversary of the
Americans With Disabilities Act. Questions for Senior Advisor Valerie
Jarrett, Deputy Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy Tom
Kalil, and the World Wide Web Consortium can be submitted by 11 a.m. using
the hash tag #ADA26. Let's ask the administration why it has failed to
#UploadTheRegs! Please take a moment to submit a tweet like the sample one
below, and to monitor and participate in the Twitter chat if you can by
following the #ADA26 hash tag. 

@vj44 @WhiteHouseOSTPRegulatory guidance is critical to promoting web #a11y.
Why has this administration failed to #uploadtheregs? #ADA26 

The more tweets we send, the more the White House will know of our
determination to see meaningful guidance on web accessibility issued by this
administration. Please forward this request to any members or friends who
are on Twitter so that they too can participate. Also,  don't hesitate to
let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Chris Danielsen

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.

We are celebrating our 75th year and planning for the future we will build
together! 
Make your contribution
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=1>  to that future
now.
