📣 Friends! ‼️My kids (yes, I call my students my kids) need your help!
I am asking that you call or email the US Department of Education and urge them to reinstate this critical funding to support Braille literacy and independence📖📚. If you are 📧emailing, please send your messages to IDEA@ed.gov and linda.mcmahon@ed.gov.
If you are calling, please call📱 202-245-7468.

📧📞Sample Script:

When you call or email you might say: “My name is [YOUR NAME] and I want to urge Secretary McMahon to reinstate the grant funding for IDEA Part D programs as well as the RSA 235E grants. This funding is critical to support increased Braille literacy for teachers of blind students and the blind youth of America.

Studies have shown that students who can read Braille go on to have better education outcomes and better employment outcomes later in life. Additionally, I’m also asking that you reinstate funding for the four deafblind technical assistance centers in Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts. Please allow today’s blind and deafblind students to have an opportunity to better themselves for a brighter future for all of us.”

📧Suggested Subject Line: “Please Reinstate Critical Funding for Blind and Deaf-blind Students”

📧If you email, please copy Justin Young at jyoung@nfb.org.

❤️Thank you in advance for helping me and our kids with this!
