Whether you are wondering how many blind/low vision individuals are actually incarcerated in California or whether you are wondering why this matters...this presentation will answer those-and many more-questions.
When: Thursday, June 27 at 7:00 PM Pacific Time, 10:00 PM Eastern Time.
Where: Zoom (link will be provided closer to the program date.)
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.
