Blind Americans Urge the House of Representatives to Fund Critical Programs
in Upcoming Appropriations Package


The National Federation of the Blind, the transformative membership and
advocacy organization of blind Americans, urges the House Appropriations
Committee to include critical funding for programs that benefit the blind
into the upcoming appropriations package. 

Those programs include the Institute of Museum and Library Services (which
plays a large part in helping to fund libraries for the blind across the
country), special education programs, vocational rehabilitation programs,
Independent Living Services for Older Individuals who are Blind (OIB), and
the American Printing House for the Blind. 

These programs are funded through the Departments of Labor, Health and Human
Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriation Bill each fiscal
year. Frequently, we will refer to this as the "Labor H Appropriations
Bill." 


How Members Can Help


On July 28, President Riccobono wrote letters to the chairs and ranking
members of both the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees on Labor,
Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. 

He urged them to appropriate funding for the Institute of Museum and Library
Services, special education programs, and vocational rehabilitation programs
at the fiscal year 2024 level plus a 5 percent cost of living adjustment
over the last two fiscal years. 

He also urged them to appropriate $254.7 million for the OIB program, which
is currently woefully underfunded, and $53.4 million for the American
Printing House for the Blind to help facilitate the distribution of the
Monarch, an innovative multi-line Braille and tactile graphics technology
that is revolutionizing access to education for blind students. 

He also asked that the annual $9 million grant for Bookshare be maintained.
Later that week the full Senate Appropriations Committee voted in favor of a
version of the Labor H Appropriations Bill that funded all of the above
programs at the Fiscal Year 2024 level, which is less than what we were
hoping for. In some cases, much less. 

Fortunately, the House version of the bill has not yet been finalized. This
is where you come in. We need everyone to contact Representative Robert
Aderholt, the Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor,
Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies, as well as your
own representative in the House and urge them to fund these important
programs for all blind Americans. 


Sample Script


When you call or email you might say: "My name is [YOUR NAME] and I want to
urge [REPRESENTATIVE NAME] to ensure that critical funding for crucial
programs for blind Americans will be included in the Labor H Appropriations
Bill. Specifically, I would like to urge a five percent increase over the
Fiscal Year 2024 funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services,
special education programs, and vocational rehabilitation programs
(including the client assistance program and protection and advocacy
program). 

I would also like to urge that the Independent Living Services for Older
Individuals who are Blind program receives a significant funding increase up
to $254.7 million, and that the American Printing House for the Blind
receives an increase in funding up to $53.4 million. Finally, I would like
to ask that the annual $9 million grant for Bookshare is maintained. 

This funding would help ensure that blind Americans are able to get proper
education, maximize our employment potential, and live independent lives.
Thank you." 

We suggest a subject like: "Please Ensure that Critical Funding for Blind
Americans Remains in the Labor H Appropriations Bill"

Blind Americans Urge the House of Representatives to Pass the CONNECT for
Health Act, H.R. 4206


The National Federation of the Blind, the transformative membership and
advocacy organization of blind Americans, urges the members of the House of
Representatives to support and pass the CONNECT for Health Act, H.R. 4206. 

This bill will make permanent the expanded Medicare telehealth coverages
that were first introduced in 2020 and have been temporarily extended over
the past couple of years, with the most recent extension set to expire on
September 30. Just a couple of months ago at our national convention, we
passed Resolution 2025-07
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=40150&qid=11622701>  on this very
topic.


How Members Can Help


Earlier this year, on March 5, President Riccobono wrote a letter to all
members of Congress urging them to pass legislation that would make the
expanded Medicare telehealth benefits permanent. Then in April, Senator
Brian Schatz of Hawaii introduced the CONNECT for Health Act in the Senate
with nearly sixty originating cosponsors. 

Just a couple of months later in June, Representative Mike Thompson of
California introduced companion legislation in the House of Representatives,
which at the time of this writing has only nineteen cosponsors.

Those nineteen cosponsors are: David Schweikert [AZ-1], Nanette Diaz
Barragan [CA-44], Young Kim [CA-40], Doris O. Matsui [CA-7], Sarah McBride
[DE-At Large], Eleanor Holmes Norton [DC-At Large], Ed Case [HI-1], Jill N.
Tokuda [HI-2], Nikki Budzinski [IL-13], Raja Krishnamoorthi [IL-8], Don
Bacon [NE-2], Josh Gottheimer [NJ-5], Yvette D. Clarke [NY-9], Ritchie
Torres [NY-15], Troy Balderson [OH-12], Greg Landsman [OH-1], Steve Cohen
[TN-9], Jennifer L. McClellan [VA-4], Suhas Subramanyam [VA-10]. 

Given that the Senate version of the bill already has significant cosponsor
support, including from Majority Leader Thune, we are going to focus our
advocacy on increasing support in the House by asking you to call or email
your Representative if they do not appear on the above list. 


Sample Script


When you call or email you might say: "My name is [YOUR NAME] and I want to
urge [REPRESENTATIVE NAME] to support the CONNECT for Health Act, H.R. 4206.
This bill will make permanent Medicare telehealth benefits that have been
temporarily extended numerous times since 2020. 

Making these telehealth benefits permanent will significantly reduce the
travel burden on blind Americans who live in rural areas and may have
difficulty securing reliable transportation for regular physician visits.
Please cosponsor H.R. 4206. Thank you."

We suggest a subject like: "Please Cosponsor the CONNECT for Health Act,
H.R. 4206"

To find the contact information for your specific representative's office,
please use the attached spreadsheet. It is organized alphabetically by
state. You can also call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask for
the office in question.

Congress, please contact Lindsey Walsh at lwalsh at nfb.org

 Cricket Picnic!
Message-ID: 
 <CAAToiL3O6sfSSkMf2BAyGbqWJkrm7U7S2AN8Fh9a=9NCkYOavw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear NFB San Francisco Chapter,

We’re excited to share three opportunities to connect, learn, and build
community with the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) San Francisco
Chapter this week!

Join us for our Outreach & Education Committee Meeting and Community Call
tonight, September 16, 2025, and our September Social Picnic & Blind
Cricket event this Saturday, September 20, 2025. Whether you’re curious
about the NFB, passionate about advocacy, or eager to try an accessible
sport, there’s something for everyone in the Bay Area blind and low vision
community.

Outreach & Education Committee Meeting
When: Tuesday, September 16, 2025, 6:00 PM Pacific Time

Where: Zoom (link below)

Details: Help shape our chapter’s community engagement and advocacy
efforts! This meeting is open to all—whether you’re a longtime member or
new to the NFB. Share your ideas, learn about our outreach initiatives, and
help us plan ways to empower and connect the Bay Area blind community.

Join via Zoom:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/6535619678?pwd=g2r7hfzZq8UC4czxbEKdlnqtf0c7yw.1

September Community Call: Myths & Misconceptions About the NFB
When: Tuesday, September 16, 2025, 7:00 PM Pacific Time
Where: Zoom (link below)
Details: Curious about the NFB, our philosophy, and community? Come visit
us and ask your questions! This call is for anyone in the Bay Area blind
and low vision community—whether you’re new to vision loss, exploring the
NFB, or a longtime member eager to welcome others. We’re neighbors across
San Francisco and the greater Bay Area, building a community where real
questions get honest answers without judgment.
Why This Conversation Matters:
We’ve all heard myths about the NFB. Some of us believed them once, too.
Questions like, “Do I need a specific cane to join? Is it okay if I use a
guide dog?” are common and show how misconceptions can make the NFB seem
intimidating. The truth is simpler: we’re a diverse community of blind
people supporting each other to live the lives we want.
What You’ll Get from This Call:
• Belonging and Straight Talk: A welcoming space to ask anything about the
NFB and get respectful, honest answers.
• Local Voices: Hear from San Franciscans about finding community,
advocacy, and practical support in the NFB.
• Real Options: Learn how we support a range of tools—from long canes and
guide dogs to Braille, screen readers, and smartphone tech.
• Connection: Meet others on similar paths and discover ways to stay
involved.
Common Myths We’ll Unpack:
• Myth: You must use a long, non-collapsible white cane to be part of the
NFB. Reality: Training centers use long canes during instruction for
consistent skills, but in everyday life, you choose what works for
you—cane, guide dog, or no aid. Your autonomy comes first.

• Myth: The NFB prefers canes and doesn’t support guide dog users. Reality:
We support guide dog users through our National Association of Guide Dog
Users and advocate for access, including public actions against rideshare
discrimination in San Francisco.

• Myth: The NFB has rigid expectations, and everyone must do things one
way. Reality: Our high expectations are about believing in blind people,
not sameness. Our chapter includes students, professionals, parents,
artists, retirees, cane users, guide dog users, and low vision folks.

• Myth: The NFB is only for totally blind people. Reality: Blindness is a
spectrum. People using large print, magnification, or screen readers are
welcome.

• Myth: The NFB rejects technology in favor of traditional skills. Reality:
We champion both—Braille, tactile skills, and mobility, alongside screen
readers, OCR, GPS, and apps that support independence.
Bring Your Questions: Come with your folding cane, long cane, neon green
cane, guide dog, or just yourself. Bring your curiosity, skepticism, and
lived experience. Pull up a virtual chair, meet your neighbors, and
discover what the NFB is really about.

September Social Picnic & Blind Cricket
When: Saturday, September 20, 2025, 12:00 PM Pacific Time
Where: Grassy area at Hearst and McGee, North Berkeley (near North Berkeley
BART station)

Directions: Enter “Hearst and McGee, North Berkeley” into Google Maps or
Apple Maps. Text Asanda at 510-507-1656 or Laura at 925-321-8804 if you
need help finding the group.

Details: Join us for a fun-filled afternoon of community, food, and Blind
Cricket! Asanda Pavlacka, who made the Blind Cricket World Cup team, will
teach accessibility techniques for this dynamic sport designed for blind
and low vision players. Using a sound-making ball, larger stumps, verbal
cues, and underarm bowling, Blind Cricket ensures everyone can participate.
No experience is needed, and you don’t have to play—come for the picnic,
learn about accessibility techniques, or both! Learn a few skills or set
your sights on the World Cup next time!

Why Come?
• Connect with others in the Bay Area blind and low vision community.
• Experience an accessible sport and see how we make games inclusive.
• Enjoy a delicious picnic and good conversation with friends.
• Spark fun, healthy competition—members of the NFB, American Council of
the Blind (ACB), and anyone curious are welcome!

Picnic Details: Laura Millar is organizing a group sandwich order from
Togo’s Sandwiches. View the menu at togossandwiches.com/menu. To order or
RSVP, contact Laura by Friday, September 19, 2025, 12 PM via text/call at

 Community College

As you may recall, a jury awarded over $230,000 to two of our blind students
because Los Angeles Community College discriminated against them. The judge
in the case has since incorrectly ruled that those students should not
receive their award from the jury. We have appealed that terrible decision
to the Ninth Circuit.

The hearing with the appellate judges is coming up in Pasadena. Let's send a
strong message to those judges that the blindness community cares about this
case. They need to know that it matters when colleges discriminate against
blind students. Letting LACCD off the hook without having to pay real
damages is insulting to our civil rights and will encourage more bad
behavior from colleges.

We'd like to see as many canes and service animals as possible in the
gallery observing the proceedings. It will also be a very interesting debate
among the judges and lawyers about the legal issues in the case. You are
guaranteed to learn something about your own legal rights. Please promote
the following at your chapter meetings and with groups in the region.

What: oral argument before the 9th Circuit in Payan v. Los Angeles Community
College District
When: Rescheduled to Thursday morning, November 20, 2025, at 9:00 a.m.  PT
(arrive by 8:30 a.m. to get through security).
Where: Courtroom 3 of the Pasadena courthouse: Richard H. Chambers Court of
Appeals Building, 125 South Grand Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91105

important to preserve our equal rights in the classroom
Who: all blind people who care about equal access to higher education

Celebration

Hello NFB friends,



I wanted to share a very last-minute opportunity with you. Another
organization that serves the blind and low vision community has requested
space at the LightHouse White Cane Day Celebration this coming weekend. To
ensure representation from our friends in the consumer organizations, we
wanted to make sure NFB and CCB have the same opportunity.



The event is this Saturday, following our march across the Golden Gate
Bridge, with the celebration taking place from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at 1155
Market St. San Francisco. I
<https://www.google.com/maps/search/1155+Market+St.+San+Francisco.+I?entry=gmail&source=g>
know it is last minute but if NFB is interested, we would be happy to set
up a table in our MPR space during the celebration. Would this be something
you all might be interested in?



All the best,
Jamey
