Hello Shara here are some of my ideas: choose one! May the best person win!!!

Words are powerful. While most of us BLIND PEOPLE are painfully aware of this reality, feeling empowered to navigate this potential minefield is another matter

Legally blind shirt3

The eyes are useless when the mind is blind A quote from Helen Keller “The only thing worse than being BLIND is having sight but no vision”

What does a BLIND person see..

Stop asking BLIND people to proof read your vision

BLINDNESS doesn’t come with a manual

BLIND WARRIOR SURVIVOR

Instead of build back better how about just put it back the way you found it

Parenting without sight: what attorneys, social workers, and parents should know about BLINDNESS

I can’t see I am legal BLIND

The less we see with our eyes not every disability is visible

I can’t see you. I can hear you fool

Hi everyone!

My idea for t-shirt is;

“Can you do this… with your EYES closed?”

Hi Shara and everyone,

I think we could have a t-shirt that also helps us spread the word about some of our top legislative priorities at the state level. For example:

“No More 14¢ Wages” – where the C like the section of the law is double-purposed to be a “cents” symbol. In fact, 14 cents per hour is a real wage that workers with disabilities in Massachusetts can get paid, and it needs to stop.

Consider an arrangement that uses basically a stacked rectangle of text overall, so that the top line says “NO MORE,” the second line says “14¢” really big, and the bottom line says “WAGES”

Or

“Stop Taking Our Children!” – where we could consider using a stop sign as the graphic for the word “Stop” and then maybe keep going on the sign vibe with a handicapped symbol at the end. There are a few ways we could arrange the text for this. 

I hope folks will like at least one of these ideas. This kind of thing is fun for me because it helps spread the word about our work.

Justin
