[CT-NFB] Open Letter of Apology from President Riccobono | National Federation of the Blind

[Phillip Magalnick]

Connecticut Federation members, 
I am aware that many of our affiliate members, including leaders, to not participate on social media. Because of this, I am providing the link to an open letter from President Riccobono released today regarding the recent flurry of revelations of sexual misconduct within the organization.
Countless Federation members are sharing their stories of experiencing sexual abuse, assault, or misconduct during Federation events and/Or While attending training centers. these survivors deserve your support, respect, and protection. It may be difficult to predict just who may be a predator or pose a danger, but it is all of  our  responsibility to make sure that our environment is safe and  inclusive. Those responsible for suchPredatory and harmful behavior should face extreme consequences, and have no place In the Federation.  Similarly, those, especially our leaders, who fail to take these matters with the seriousness, sensitivity, and deserved  consequences must  not  be welcome.

Our   loyalties must remain to the members, the affiliate, and to   the  organized blind movement of the  Federation.
