Your support makes a difference. Thank you!

Thank you very much for your support of the National Federation of the
Blind during this difficult time. Together we are building tools for our
members across the country to continue connecting and protecting blind
people in their communities.
Celebrate #GivingTuesdayNow

Tuesday, May 5 is #GivingTuesdayNow—a day for everyone around the world to
stand together and give back in all ways, no matter who or where we are. A
global threat like COVID-19 affects every person on our planet and presents
an opportunity to come together as a global community. Let’s give back and
show our strength. Join us by supporting the urgent needs of blind
Americans. Give a gift
<https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=16753&qid=3544586> in
honor of a blind person who has overcome obstacles and is living the life
they want.
NFB-NEWSLINE® Expanded to Provide Breaking News on COVID-19

The need for current information is more important now than ever. We have
responded by expanding NFB-NEWSLINE to all states, including those where we
are currently unsponsored, and adding a new search feature.

COVID-19 updates are now available in the "Breaking News" category of
NFB-NEWSLINE. This means that deafblind people who want up-to-date Braille
information can download to a Braille display and stay abreast of current
news. This offering is especially helpful to those who do not have internet
access since NFB-NEWSLINE can be accessed by any phone in addition to other
access methods. For more information and instructions, visit NFB-NEWSLINE
<https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=16754&qid=3544586>.
Providing Distance Learning Resources

Blind students should be able to continue virtual learning just as their
sighted peers. The NFB is committed to ensuring quality education for blind
students, and to providing activities and lessons that are fun and
educational for blind children and their families. Check out our distance
learning resources
<https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=16755&qid=3544586> and
share them with anyone who may be interested.

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.
