> About National Federation of the Blind
> 
> The National Federation of the Blind is the transformative membership and advocacy organization of blind people in the United States. We know that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
