NFBPWC Rapid Response Committee Chair
My job as the Rapid Response Chair is to seek out issues that the organization can take a voice on that connect to our mission and legislative platform.
And while there is an organizational mode behind the issues, what about you the individual?
Are there any issues that are valuable and speak close to your heart and in a heartbeat, you would post a social media link, video, or share an article about? What is that issue that speaks to you that you are willing to fight for and make it your personal issue.
If you have such an issue that speaks close to your heart, then perhaps that is your personal rapid response issue. You don’t need organizational backing or its voice to do it because it is your path. But if you need ideas or support, connecting to an organization like NFBPWC can be a great starting point for you.
