The petition has over 10,000 signatures and ALA is working hard to get awareness out and mechanisms to make it easy. Please sign if you haven't already (it isn't all that easy for a lot of people, a snap for others, but persistance wins). AND, please send this out to family, friends and colleagues. 

 

Thank you, Sara
