NFB Pledge
I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the National Federation of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind; to support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to abide by its constitution.

NFB One-Minute Message
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.

Zoom Commands

  *   Stop Notifications: If you are running JAWS 2020 you can use Alt-Windows key-S to suppress Zoom notifications. If you are running an earlier version of JAWS use JAWS key-space bar-S to invoke "Speech on Demand". Use the same key combination to invoke full speech. On an iOS device use a three-finger double tap to turn speech off. Perform a three-finger double tap to re-enable speech. On a Mac you will need to disable Voice Over using CMD-F5. Even with Voice Over off you can still use keyboard commands in Zoom to mute/unmute yourself and raise/lower your hand, Voice Over just won't speak. Use CMD-F5 to re-enable Voice Over.
  *   Muting: Many meetings are muting all participants, but smaller meetings are letting people mute and unmute themselves. On Windows use Alt-A to mute/unmute. On Mac use SMD-Shift-A to mute/unmute yourself. On a dial in number use *6 to toggle the option. On an iOS device the button is in the lower left-hand corner. Double tap the button to switch the toggle. On Windows, Mac and iOS there is a setting to always enter a meeting muted.  It is not turned on by default.
  *   Raise/Lower Hand: To raise and lower your hand, on Windows Alt-Y. On Mac Option-Y. On a dial in phone *9. On an iOS device double tap on the "Participants" button in the lower right corner and scroll to the bottom. There is a button (but is not labeled as a button in the most current version) that says, "raise hand".  Double tap and it will switch to "Lower hand".
  *   Participants List: To see Participants on Windows Alt-U. On Mac CMD-U. On an iOS device the button is located in the lower right-hand section of the screen. You will also see a "Raise Hand" button in the "Participants" section on Mac and Windows if you forget the keyboard command.
