Three months until the largest gathering of blind people in the world –
Plan to attend!

* “In July 2017, I attended my first National Federation of the Blind
Annual Convention. I listened to our presidential report, I applauded the
color guard of blind veterans, I heard blind athletes share their stories
of hardship and success, and I delighted in the enthusiasm of the
convention participants: the parents, the caregivers, the children, the
young, the mature, the innovation leaders, the Federation leaders, and the
members of Congress who unite with us in our vision for equality. I just
spent days filled with energetic education, lively learning, fellowship,
and fun.” – Marilyn Green, Illinois*

Whether you’re a first-timer or a veteran of the convention, we look
forward to your attendance at the 2019 NFB National Convention, Sunday,

The National Federation of the Blind knows 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.
