Blind Patient, National Federation of the Blind, and MinuteClinic Resolve Litigation

Thank You for Your Support
 
The National Federation of the Blind does not often financially benefit from legal victories. On the contrary, we are unable to recoup the costs for many legal cases. However, we vigorously defend the rights of blind people. Please help us continue our advocacy efforts and raise expectations of blind people by making a contribution today. Thank you for being part of our mission to advance the lives of all blind people in the United States!
