Here is the link to the Facts Sheets that we have sent ot all of our members of Congress.  If you prefer, these will give you the details of each issue, rather than listening to the training sessions.  Either will work.  Please, know the issue, think of a personal story, and don’t get lost in the details.  Each of our presentations. Should be 3-4 minutes.  They will have the details they need.https://nfb.org/programs-services/advocacy/washington-seminar/washington-seminar-priorities

Hello All,

I am re-sending the FAQ, internal notes, and links to the training videos.  Please review, and be thinking of the issue you would like to present at our meetings.  It looks like a meeting at 7 on Monday evening to work out details will work for most.  I will be sending out the Zoom link for that later today or tomorrow.

Also, the links for the Monday meetings are not yet out.  I will forward them as soon as I receive them.

Thanks for your interest in participating in one of the most important events the National Federation of the Blind conducts each year.
