Subject: [CT-NFB] Federation Philosophy and Reproductive Rights
Hi everyone,
I had attempted to post this in follow-up to Deb Reed's email about the
February Braille Monitor. As someone who is personally a product of the
mentoring and organizing of the National Federation of the Blind of
Connecticut, I want to share with everyone a piece that I was fortunate
enough to publish in the March issue of the Braille Monitor.
I am hopeful that it will lead to meaningful reflection and discussion.
Some of us may have heard people say something like "I am a member of the
National Federation of the Blind; therefore, I am 100 percent pro-life," or
"I am a member of the National Federation of the Blind; therefore, I am 100
percent pro-choice." I contend that the Federation is not inherently
pro-life or pro-choice.
Here it is:

"Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the
person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels
pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore."
