IMAGINEERING OUR FUTURE

-------------------------

PRESIDENT'S LETTER

One of the things that impressed me most when I started to get involved in
the Federation was the real-life impact of the actions that the
organization made on behalf of blind people. More from President Riccobono
[2]. 

QUIET CARS SPARKED ACTION

"The first time I encountered a Toyota Prius, back in 2003, I knew we were
in trouble…The Quiet Cars Bill, as it came to be known, was an example of
the Federation in action!" Learn more about how our members spark change

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
