    Hear Us: One Voice! Stronger Together! Twitter Blast 

    Announcing our #Day on the Hill for DeafBlind

    April 10 - April 14, 2023

    Family leaders, family organizations, and friends of DeafBlind individuals (Family Advocacy Coalition Educating or FACE for DeafBlind) are planning our first Day on the Hill for DeafBlind! We are speaking with our legislators to educate them about the needs of our children! We are announcing our arrival! 

    During the week of April 10 - 14, NFADB is joining other organizations in a #Day on the Hill for DeafBlind Twitter Blast and we hope you will participate. 

    You will be retweeting a message every day of this weeklong twitter blast, tagging your Congressmen. As constituents, your messages to your Congressional representatives are so powerful!
