The US Senate Foreign Relations Committee will hold its second hearing on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) tomorrow, November 21 at 9:30 a.m. Eastern in Dirksen Senate Office Building, Room G-50.
Members of the Foreign Relations Committee need to hear from the Independent Living Movement now, or we will not succeed. The target senators need to hear from you continually to understand that the community supports ratification of the CRPD and wants the process to keep moving forward.
