How can you help?

You can make a difference in ensuring that the National Security Multi-Mission Vessels (NSMVs) are fully accessible to all students, including those with disabilities. By advocating for the conversion of existing staterooms into fully accessible accommodations, we can break down barriers and create equal opportunities for all cadets to participate in maritime education and training.

Here’s how you can help:

1. Contact Your Local Congressperson – Write or call your representative to express your support for ADA-compliant modifications to the NSMVs.

2. Use our pre-drafted letter template to make your voice heard. Messages may be limited to 2,000 characters; the template is ready. Ask for feedback and a response. If you want to make changes, feel free.

3. Spread the Word – Share this cause with your friends, family, and networks. Raising awareness is key to driving change.

4. Stay Informed – Follow updates on the NSMV program and the progress being made toward greater accessibility.

Together, we can ensure that maritime education is inclusive and that every student has the opportunity to contribute to this vital industry. Your support is crucial in making this vision a reality!
