U.S. Senate passes Treaty To Protect Fishing Rights But Not One To Protect Disability Rights!

as shared by the United States International Council on Disabilities ...



 The Senate Can Pass A Treaty To Protect Fishing Rights But Not One To Protect Disability Rights!


On April 4th, the U.S. Senate passed FOUR international treaties regarding fish and fishing rights.  This occurred without a word of opposition in committee nor on the Senate floor.

Let your Senators know that we are PROUD of their bipartisan effort to pass the first international treaties in 4 years - and that the CRPD must be next!

If the Senate can unite around fish, it can do the same to protect the rights of people with disabilities.

You can find and contact your Senators at:

Forward this message onto your lists of friends and colleagues so they can join us in sending a message to the U.S. Senate that the rights of people with disabilities must also be protected!
