Thank you. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Pare, John via NFBNet-Members-List" Date: Tue, 2 May 2023 13:52:01 +0000 Subject: [Nfbnet-members-list] Legislative Alert: May 2, 2023 - Karla Gilbride Nomination To: "nfbnet-members-list at nfbnet.org" Good morning Federation Family: In January of this year President Biden nominated Karla Gilbride, an outstanding graduate of Georgetown Law School who happens to be blind, to serve as the general counsel for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Some highlights of her career include arguing a case in front of the US Supreme Court resulting in a unanimous decision in her favor, and winning a case in which she represented NFB member Joe Orozco before the Federal Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit. Recently, Karla's nomination was reported favorably out of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, and we want to make sure that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer understands the importance of advancing Ms. Gilbride's nomination to the Senate floor. That is why we need all of you to please call Senator Schumer's office at 202-224-6542 to urge him to bring her nomination vote to the Senate floor immediately. You can also email Senator Schumer's nominations director, Catalina Tam, at Catalina_tam at schumer.senate.gov. When you call or email, you might say something like: "My name is [YOUR NAME]. I am writing/calling to urge Majority Leader Schumer to schedule Karla Gilbride's confirmation vote to be the next general counsel of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Thank You." Thanks for all you do, John John G. Par? Jr. Executive Director for Advocacy and Policy 200 East Wells Street, Baltimore, MD 21230 (410) 659-9314, extension 2218 | Jpare at nfb.org [National Federation of the Blind] [Facebook] [Twitter] [Youtube] The National Federation of the Blind is a community of members and friends who believe in the hopes and dreams of the nation's blind.
