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.
