Today is the last day for the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (UN CRPD).  You might want to look a last minute alert at capwiz.

Put in your zip code and write the below message:

The UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD) is to be voted on today.  We still recommend not to change the writing and stand with National Association of the Deaf (NAD). Do not change anything and accept CRPD as it is and leave the word deaf alone. 

Thank you,
