[VABS] Fwd: [nabs-l] Fight For Your Rights!!

[Robert Parsons]

Fellow Blind Students 


> I have never experienced a single semester that has not been fraught with
> accessibility issues. Whether it is receiving my books late, inaccessible
> labs, or restricted access to my academic materials. You all know the
> feeling. You already have enough to deal with in your life, without this
> additional Burdon. The heat building under your collar when everyone in the
> class is starting a lab or quiz that isn’t accessible for you, the
> frustration that makes you feel like pulling your hair out because you are
> falling behind since you still haven’t received your books. Finally, you
> can do something about it, rather than sending angry emails to the
> disability office. As individuals we are powerless to change the system.
> Together, we are strong and can fight.
> 
> Washington seminar is upon the horizon, and we desperately need more
> personal testimonies. This is such an easy and simple task to perform,
> there is no excuse why not to. It is the most basic effort to not only help
> yourself, but help all your peers.
> 
> Attached to this email is a template to follow that makes writing your
> letter effortless. Additionally, there are two sample letters to check out.
> I challenge each single one of you to take autonomy in your life and fight
> for your rights. Write your letter, send it to me at rob.parso3389 at gmail.com 
> and stop letting life pass you by.
