[NFBC-Info] Fwd: Legislative Alert: Access Technology Affordability Act

[Marianne Haas]

Good Morning,
I have been writing to Legislative Staff of several house members in CA to cosponsor HR 1529.  However, I need some help from other people concerned with this issue.  Are you aware, for instance, that Nancy Pelosi has not cosponsored the bill yet and neither has Rowe Kanna.  If Kanna is so much into social justice, why not help blind people.  I need some of the constituents in those districts to call their house members.

Best Regards,

M. Haas

Pass the Access Technology Affordability Act

The National Federation of the Blind urges the members of the House of Representatives to cosponsor the Access Technology Affordability Act (ATAA), H.R. 1529. This bill will help blind Americans afford the high cost of qualified access technology by creating a refundable tax credit of
$2,000 for use over a three-year period.

Access technology can be expensive but is often necessary for daily tasks such as job searching, applying for work, and completing job responsibilities.

Since 2017, we have worked tirelessly to support this legislation because it will expand employment opporunities, reduce financial barriers to technology, and contribute more to the federal government through income and payroll taxes.

Your engagment and support is essential to advancing this legislation. Please call or email your representative today and urge them to cosponsor the Access Technology Affordability Act.
