Beschreibung

In a powerfully written op-ed, former valedictorian and non-speaking autistic advocate Elizabeth Bonker demands action — not with a voice, but by tapping one letter at a time (which took hours). She calls on the NYState Senate and Disabilities Committee to release the Communication Bill of Rights for Individuals with Disabilities (S7792b) and bring it to a vote. 1.  Sign a petition we’ve setup on Change.org: https://c.org/H4cDVZbmCb 2. Call or email the Committee Chair, SenatorFahy to “support bill S7792b”. Her number is (518) 455‑2225 or email her at Fahy@nysenate.gov [Fahy@nysenate.gov]. 3.  Call or email the Majority Leader, Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins. Her number is (518) 455-2715 or email scousins@nysenate.gov 4. For all you New Yorkers call or emailyour local Senator: https://www.nysenate.gov/find-my-senator [https://www.nysenate.gov/find-my-senator]. 5. For all you outside the state call Senator Fahy anyway and leave a message.
