There are a few Senators on the Committee are still on the fence about whether or not to support Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).

Please help to remind them to keep their focus on the people the CRPD benefits all over the world and not on petty politics.

You can still make sure your voice is heard by contacting three of the key Republican Senators on the Committee and telling them you support the CRPD:

Arizona Senator Jeff Flake: Call 202-224-4521, send an email through his website, or Tweet #ISupportCRPD to @JeffFlake.

Tennessee Senator Bob Corker: Call 202-224-3344, send an email through his website,or Tweet #ISupportCRPD to @SenBobCorker

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson: Call 202-224-5323, send an email through his website, or Tweet #ISupportCRPD to @SenRonJohnson
