Blind Ambition: Navigating Washington for Accessibility Rights

In this episode of iCantCU, I talk about traveling to Washington to lobby congress as part of the NFB's annual Washington Seminar. In a first for me, I finally had a meeting with a congressman, not just their staff. It was a very productive couple of days in DC. While I didn't get a chance to do any sightseeing, I did sit in on the meetings with the staff of both Pennsylvania Senators. In Just Listen, there are clips from the trip to Washington, a clip from the monorail that goes under the Capitol to the Russell office building, and a sound bite from PA Senator Bob Casey.
