> Dear Federation Friends,
> 
> Come join us May 23-25 in Los Angeles for an important legal advocacy event.
> I and many others will be watching the jury retrial of the Los Angeles
> Community College District.  LACCD refuses to resolve our concerns about
> ongoing discrimination against blind community college students, illustrated
> by its past treatment of Roy Payan and Portia Mason.  The trial begins on
> Tuesday, May 23 and is expected to last for three days.
> 
> I, blind college students and interested members will be attending to show
> support and observe the trial.  Each morning at 9:00 a.m. PT, on
> Tuesday-Thursday, May 23-25, we will gather in front of Courtroom 10A, 10th
> Floor, 350 W. 1st Street, Los Angeles, California 90012.  I will also be
> visiting with folks during the breaks to discuss the case and what is
> happening in the trial.  I expect we'll be going out to lunch and dinner
> together on May 23 and 24.  I don't get many opportunities to spend time
> with our Southern California family.  Please make a point to come say hello
> and advocate for our blind students.  All are welcome to come for one or all
> days.  College students, particularly students interested in law and digital
> accessibility, won't want to miss this rare opportunity to see the justice
> system in action.
> 
> Please call or text (916) 382-0372 on May 23 if you have questions or
> concerns.  You may also contact local chapter presidents and our student
> division president:
