Membership in our organization is a commitment to work together to achieve
equality for the blind. Membership grants you the right to help set the
direction for the organization. Membership also gives you the responsibility of
working collaboratively with other members to achieve the best outcomes for the
organization as a whole. As individuals, we receive great strength and value
for our participation in the organization. Our goal over time is to give more
than we have received. We are reminded of our rights and responsibilities as
members by repeating our NFB pledge. Please repeat after me:</span></p>

National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic
that defines us or our future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind
people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our
dreams. We can live the life we want; blindness is not what holds us back.</span></p>
