<p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">“In an age where technology plays a critical role in all aspects of society, the Federation has been relentless in its advocacy for accessible technology as part of its pursuit of security, equality, and opportunity. Achieving the degree of accessibility we enjoy today required the use of a range of advocacy tools, including building strong relationships.” – Jonathan Mosen </span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">One of our most meaningful and long-standing partnerships is with HumanWare, a global leader in assistive technology for the blind and people with low vision. To celebrate this partnership, <strong>HumanWare is matching up to $50,000 in contributions to the National Federation of the Blind through December 31</strong>. We are committed to expanding opportunities for blind people through Braille literacy and accessible technology, and we need your help.</span></p>
