[nabs-l] My official rant thread!

[Joshua Lester]

We have a lack of leadership in our state NFB chapter.
I'm going to have to take it up with national.
Blessings, Joshua

you may believe it but without a group backing you, you won't get far.
Use an advocacy group for people with disabilities if you want to pursue it;
a group such as an independent living center nearby, a chapter of nfb if its
active, a chapter of ACLU, a legal firm doing cases of this for pro bono
work such as the equal Rights center, or a chapter of the American
association of people with disabilities.

I'm the only blind person in my community that knows how to read Braille.
The others are older and either don't want to learn, or are in the nursing
home, or a combination of both.
I still believe that since I'm in this community, and the ADA demands it,
they should comply with the ADA!
Blessings, Joshua

Joshua and Sarah, you must consider that this is a world of the cited, and
that not everything is blind Friendly.  I do agree with you, however, if
less people demanded, there will be no action. You need to be proactive and
get a group of people together that want the same thing, then you might get
more accomplished than if you just went on your own.
