Subject: [Wcb-l] Quiet Cars on the Next Marlaina

The issue of quiet cars is very much in the news these days.  And, it is an
issue which impacts all of us.

On the next Marlaina, I will be joined by Karen Gourgey, ACB New York, and
Debbie Kent Stein, National Federation of the Blind of Illinois.
 These women have been working on the quiet car issue, and have joined
forces to move this issue along and keep it on the radar screens of those
who need to be aware of the potentially life-threatening impact these hybrid
vehicles can have on people who are blind.

Karen Gourgey, President of the Greater New York Chapter of ACB of New York,
has a background in education and is currently employed at the Computer
Center for visually Impaired People at Baruch College, City University of
New York; she has held a position with the College since 1980. 
She has been involved in advocacy issues of concern to people with visual
disabilities since the 1970's, and is committed to continually working to
bring accessible computer and technologies to the hands of blind people. 
Additionally, Karen is co-chair of ACB's Environmental Access Committee.

Debbie Kent Stein is the First Vice President of the National Federation of
the Blind of Illinois, and President of its Chicago chapter.  She is a
freelance writer, mostly of books for children and young adults.  She has a
background in social work, and worked for several years in community mental
health in New York City.  She chairs NFB's Committee on Automobiles and
Pedestrian Safety, also known as the Quiet Cars Committee.

I think you will agree that these two women are the leaders in our community
when it comes to this topic.  I am very eager to interview them and learn
from them.  This is such an important issue, I urge each and every listener
to ACB Radio to join me for this program, learn the facts and then what you
can do.  One voice is power, many voices together are voices of empowerment
with a chorus of creating change.
