The National Family Association for DeafBlind (NFADB) welcomes you to our 3rd annual DeafBlind Day on the Hill.
Family organizations and/or family leaders interested in supporting their DeafBlind loved ones are encouraged to join us! We will unite to advocate and educate our legislators nationwide on issues specific to individuals who are DeafBlind.Topics of importance include:
- Introduction of a CMA Title III bill (name to be determined) by Rep. McGarvey (D-KY), the first ask from the National Advocacy Agenda
- Recruitment of members for newly formed DeafBlind Congressional Caucus
- Continue to advocate for support of adults who are DeafBlind, the second ask from the National Advocacy Agenda
NFADB is here to help educate you on all of this with tools and support to assist in preparation for you to advocate and share your story with confidence!
