Thank you for your interest in ensuring that Redbox kiosks are accessible to the blind. Because of the existing settlement agreement <http://dralegal.org/press/redbox-and-lighthouse-for-the-blind-dra-announces-settlement-agreement/>  between Redbox and Lighthouse for the Blind, specific to Redbox kiosks in California, the NFB will not be able to engage California residents in our efforts towards ensuring access in the remaining forty-nine states. I was surprised by how many NFB of California members contacted me regarding Redbox. Please share your Redbox experiences and concerns directly with Stuart Seaborn or Michelle Ioria at Disability Rights Advocates, the firm that represented Lighthouse for the Blind. Stuart can be reach at sseaborn at dralegal.org <mailto:sseaborn at dralegal.org>  and Michelle at miorio at dralegal.org <mailto:miorio at dralegal.org> . 

 

Sincerely,

Valerie

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 have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

 

Make a gift to the National Federation of the Blind and help ensure all blind Americans live the lives they want.
