#NFB21 National Convention: Mini Communications Toolkit for Members

Federationists: we need your help publicizing the National Federation of the Blind National Convention and increasing registration before May 31.

If you haven't registered yet, please register now at nfb.org/registration <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=21157&qid=5403669> .

This toolkit includes content templates to simply copy and paste to the corresponding platform. Please feel free to edit into your own words as needed. It’s also great to add a convention story. Attached is the NFB21 image to use on social media.
