[Osoluchukwu Ozo-Onyali]

*Greetings All!*

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming February DARE Call, hosted by
the Advocacy committee! This month, we are focusing on: Guide Dog Advocacy
and Your Legal Rights.

Join us for an enlightening discussion where we will explore crucial topics
such as:

*- Understanding Your Legal Rights:*
 Learn about the rights you possess as a guide dog handler, and how to
effectively advocate for yourself and your mobility aid.


*- Navigating Rideshare Apps: *
What should you do if you encounter challenges when using rideshare
services? We’ll provide practical steps to ensure you know your rights and
how to assert them.

*- Access to Public Spaces: *
Discover the laws that protect your right to access public spaces with your
guide dog, and how to address any obstacles you may face

We’re thrilled to have a special guest speaker from Guiding Eyes, who will
share valuable insights and strategies for advocating for your rights in
everyday situations. Additionally, gain a unique perspective from a current
Uber driver who will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the rideshare
experience and how we can work together to foster understanding and
inclusivity.

*Event Details*:
📅 Date: February 23rd
🕒 Time: 8:00 pm EST

This call is not just about information; it’s about empowerment. Together,
we can create a community that stands strong in advocacy, ensuring that
every individual and their guide dog can navigate the world with confidence
and dignity.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to gain knowledge, ask questions, and
connect with others.
