Let's Go Illinois! How to Fight for the UN Disability Treaty - U.S. Hearing Nov 5, 2013

as shared by our colleagues at Access Living...



Dear Access Living friends and allies,
With the UN CRPD hearing coming up this Tuesday afternoon, we need YOU to help participate in a phone call and e-mail blitz to all of the members of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
To make the calls, go to http://www.disabilitytreaty.org/app/make-a-call?2&engagementId=22995.  The first number you see is for Senator Corker.  When you finish that call and provide feedback, the phone number for the next Senator will automatically pop up.  This gives advocates a way to know how many phone calls are being made.  So CALL today!  Seven key Senators need to hear from you.
Below my signature is a list of ALL the email addresses and contact staff for every member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.  Access Living urges you to contact these Senators and staffers and let them know that it is important to you that they support the UN disability treaty (the CRPD).  Take action today!
And…expect you will be getting more alerts in the next few days leading up to Tuesday!  The more action we can generate, the better!
