Federationists:<br>
<br>
With a new administration in Washington promising sweeping
change, many wonder what the prospects for legislative success
are in the rapidly evolving political environment. Throughout
our history, the National Federation of the Blind has worked
with political leaders of both parties to craft public policy
that helps blind Americans live the lives we want, and our
goal is to continue to do so. Judging by the outstanding
success last week of our 2017 Washington Seminar, there are
plenty of partners willing to work with us and champion our
issues, presenting ample and exciting opportunities to make
positive change. Read a recap of some of the highlights on the
Voice of the Nation’s Blind, the blog of the National
Federation of the Blind. The full post is here:<br>
