It is crucial to get the perspective of blind people, individually and
collectively, when addressing the challenges we face. Who knows what blind
people need better than we do?

"I like educating the public about the positive truths about blind people. I
was faced with so many misconceptions that any chance to minimize these for
others is one I enthusiastically embrace."

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.
