*Your Story Makes a Difference—Yes, You!*

Get involved by sharing your experiences. Washington Seminar kicks off our
legislative agenda for the year. We need change in a set of priorities,
and your stories will make change—not only now, but throughout the year.

   - Website and Software Accessibility – share your experiences navigating
   online spaces.
   - Inaccessible Medical Devices – what medical device(s) do you currently
   use that isn’t accessible, and what is the impact on your life and those of
   your family and friends?
   - Social Security Disability Insurance – have you held back from
   advancing your career, due to the fear of losing benefits?

More stories means more progress. Tell us about you and one or more of the
above topics. Please email story at nfb.org
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=28649&qid=8307852> or leave a voice
message at 2444. Stories will be highlighted in communications such as
social media, publications, and emails.

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.
