[vip_students] Vision Week March to Dáil Éireann

Hi all, 

As part of Vision Week (9th ? 16th October 2011), VISPA (Vision Impaired
Service Providers Alliance) is organising a march to Dáil Éireann to present
VISPA?s pre-budget submission to the Government.  

Why: No Further Budget Cuts. VISPA will demand that the Government honours
its promise to enhance the quality of life of people with disabilities (as
laid out in the Programme for Government) by imposing no further cuts on
people who are blind or vision impaired in Budget 2012. 

Who: The members of VISPA (NCBI, Fighting Blindness, St. Joseph?s Centre for
the Visually Impaired and Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind), people with
vision impairments and anyone who supports our call to protect payments and
services for people who are blind or vision impaired. 

When: World Sight Day, Thursday, October 13th. 

Where: Meet at top of Grafton Street, at the junction with St. Stephen?s
Green at 10:30am. We'll begin our march at 11am sharp. The route goes from
Stephen's Green to Dawson Street. We'll turn right onto Nassau Street and
right again on Kildare Street to the Dáil.

Please join us as we ask lawmakers to 'See Our View'.

How can you help? 

1. You can attend the march and help spread the word. If you?re on Facebook,
please become a fan of NCBI?s page
(www.facebook.com/ncbiworkingforpeoplewithsightloss) and re-share the link
there or post it to Twitter. We need as many voices behind this call as
possible. People who are blind or vision impaired have faced cuts of 8% to
Blind Pension alone over the last two years, as well as cuts to the funding
for organisations like NCBI and the other VISPA partners. Take this
opportunity to say ?No More Cuts? and to have your voice heard. 

Anyone attending the march can confirm their attendance with Oona Walls by
emailing oona.walls@xxxxxxxx I will be out of the office from 27th September
to 10th October but please let Oona know if you can make it and I will
confirm arrangements when I get back. 

Thanks in advance for your support. 

Kind regards, 

Fionnuala
