Last week, the House and Senate both returned for a two week work session before the election. We need to urge them to take action on the Disability Treaty (CRPD) before September 23rd or 24th, while the Senate is in session.

We are asking for you to let YOUR Senator know the CRPD needs to be ratified NOW, before the end of September!

Tell them we will NOT WAIT any longer: The time is NOW!!

Visit www.disabilitytreaty.org to take action!

You can also take action on social media!

• Make a sign – it can be a simple piece of paper. Write down that you support CRPD and (if applicable) why. If you have a personal story, use it! (Example: I support CRPD because I want my sister with a disability to be able to travel abroad!)
• Take a picture of yourself holding up the sign.
• Tweet or Facebook the picture (along with one of the sample tweets below) using the hashtag #CRPD. You can tweet at your Senator as well, find their Twitter IDs at: http://bit.ly/CRPDsenators

Sample Tweets:

• #ISupportCRPD because it’s #ADA for the world! Let your Senator know you do too at www.disabilitytreaty.org
• I support #CRPD to provide equal rights for 1 billion people w #disabilities around the world! www.disabilitytreaty.org
