IMAGINEERING OUR FUTURE

President's Letter

Blindness does not know race, ethnicity, gender, economic status, or any other characteristic, but together, with love, hope, and determination, we will transform the dreams of all blind people into reality.  <https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=18748&qid=4296881> More from President Riccobono.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines blind people or their future. Every day we raise the expectations of and for blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. We can live the lives we want; blindness is not what holds us back. Please join us in our work by becoming a member, attending an event, sharing this newsletter, or supporting our programs.
