<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Our Belief Message</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and all 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. Our collective power, determination, and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.</span></p>
