Sun Nov 27 16:45:29 UTC 2022

Good Afternoon My Friends,

I hope you're all having a great weekend. Please take some time to read this important message from the Greater Detroit chapter and consider joining us in this discussion tomorrow evening. Our advocacy efforts will need the support and feedback of the entire affiliate. We are the National Federation of the Blind of Michigan, and this is a way to understand how our affiliate comes together to support equality, opportunity and security for blind people. Much like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," I invite you all to be a part of the first step of our most important work:
