[CT-NFB] Federation Philosophy and Reproductive Rights

Tue Mar 2 23:18:40 UTC 2021

Justin,

Indeed, very well said.  The thing that I most enjoyed about your article is that it reaches out to Federation members and those considering being members throughout the spectrum of points of view in a way that respects every point of view.  And demonstrates how members and potential members can contribute authentically and meaningfully to the tremendous amount of work that we have to do.

Awesome job!  I am glad that the Federation has your leadership and wisdom; you are a credit to this your home state affiliate.

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:

Aloha,
