A Call to Ratify the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

Today is the 20th Anniversary of International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) as recognized by the United Nations.

Tomorrow Senators will vote on the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), it is a very important treaty, there is still time to ask your Senators to support ratification. I encourage you to telephone them and ask them to VOTE FOR RATIFICATION, even if your Senator's office is closed, you can still leave them a voicemail, please do so today!
