		<description><![CDATA[The effort to have the FDA disallow the use of electric shock devices at the Judge Rotenberg Center is in jeopardy.  We are at a turning point --  we need you to write a letter and to pass this request on to others who are concerned about this issue. It seems the FDA has gotten dozens of letters from parents whose sons or daughters are at the Judge Rotenberg Center and who want JRC to be able to continue to use painful electric shock to control behavior. The FDA is being swayed by these letters. Those who sent letters are not bad parents – but they are people who have found few other options for their loved ones, have made the difficult decision to send their family member to a place like JRC and who need to feel (and convince others) that they have done the right thing. We need people to write letters to the FDA. A template for a letter is attached; feel free to use it or to use parts of it  -- but the strongest letters will be those written from the heart.  Letters can be signed by individuals or organizations. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=reunifygally.wordpress.com&#038;blog=543285&#038;post=634&#038;subd=reunifygally&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that killed about 3000 people at the World Trade Center in New York, at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and in a field in Pennsylvania, as well as the passengers on the four planes used as weapons of terror.  But what most people don't realize is that a very high portion of the people who died that day were people with disabilities.  And this isn't because they were targeted by terrorists, or because people didn't bother trying to rescue them.  This is because the most typical disaster preparedness plan put in place for people with disabilities usually involves some variant of: Come to location X near the stairs, then sit and wait for rescue.  The only problem is, sometimes an emergency moves so fast that there is simply no time for rescue to arrive.  And when that happens, people with disabilities are often the first to die because they are the last to be evacuated.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=reunifygally.wordpress.com&#038;blog=543285&#038;post=467&#038;subd=reunifygally&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I have met the women in this video--both the Deaf women and the women with all different kinds of disabilities--and they are some of the most awesome, passionate, visionary, world changing women leaders I have had the honor to have met.  These 54 women from 43 different countries are doing incredible things in their home countries, changing society one little corner at a time so that it is more inclusive of Deaf and disabled women everywhere.  Please, PLEASE -- <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxxomUVsSik">go watch this video</a>!!  <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=reunifygally.wordpress.com&#038;blog=543285&#038;post=465&#038;subd=reunifygally&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
