Friend:</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: calibri,sans-serif">Thanks to you, the
National Federation of the Blind has had a tremendous
impact
on the lives of blind people of all ages—and maybe your
family
has benefitted from our advocacy and philosophy. Please <A
href="https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=16825&qid=3589436"
rel=nofollow>help continue our work</A> by participating
in
#GivingTuesdayNow, which is tomorrow, and take advantage
of
the matching gift from the Gibney Family
Foundation.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: calibri,sans-serif">#GivingTuesdayNow
is a
global day of giving and unity set to take place May 5,
2020
as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused
by
COVID-19. The National Federation of the Blind is
responding
to a variety of urgent needs that blind children and
adults
are facing during this time. Our <A
href="https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=16825&qid=3589436"
rel=nofollow>stepped-up advocacy efforts</A> now include
supporting blind small business operators, protecting the
rights of students facing inaccessible distance learning
platforms, and providing updated educational and
informational
resources for our members and communities in accessible
formats.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: calibri,sans-serif">We recently
expanded
<A
href="https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=16826&qid=3589436"
rel=nofollow>NFB-NEWSLINE</A></SPAN></SPAN><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: calibri,sans-serif"> to all states,
including those where we are currently unsponsored, and
added
a new search feature. This means that deafblind people who
want up-to-date Braille information can download to a
Braille
display and stay abreast of current news. This offering is
especially helpful to those who do not have internet
access
since NFB-NEWSLINE can be accessed by any phone in
addition to
other access methods.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: calibri,sans-serif"><EM>“The beauty of
NFB-NEWSLINE is that this service provides me with
information
in a format that I can readily use, instead of in a chart
which is not typically made accessible. When the city of
Chicago updates us with information, it is distributed
through
an inaccessible PDF document. When I search COVID-19 on
NFB-NEWSLINE however, I am able to access the same
up-to-date
information as every other resident, which helps me to
protect
myself and my family.” - NFB Member</EM></SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: calibri,sans-serif"><STRONG>If you are
able, please help us continue to advocate and provide
essential services by contributing tomorrow on
#GivingTuesdayNow. Our partner, the Gibney Family
Foundation,
is generously matching all donations made on May
5.</STRONG></SPAN></SPAN></P>
