Hello CCB! We are AIRSLA, The Audio Internet Reading Service of Los Angeles.
Some of you may remember us from the past. We are still here providing material for the blind and print impaired. This week you are invited to Dr. Stephen Hawking’s Time Travelers Party. Yes, he is gone, but you can still go. You need time travel to get there. Your invitation is via Discover magazine read by Brian Lemon for AIRSLA., https://airsla.org/all-podcasts/discover-magazine-2/
From: Jeff Thom, Director of Governmental Affairs
Both of our bills, AB3193, (Calderon, which would exempt assistive technology-related purchases made for clients of the Department of Rehabilitation from state regulations, and AB1902 (Alanis), which enables people with print disabilities to request labeling in accessible formats for prescription drugs, have passed the Assembly and are now in the Senate. Stay tune for ways in which you can help advocate to get these bills over the finish line.
Thank you for reading.
