President's Letter


  <https://nfb.org/sites/nfb.org/files/iof/iof-mar-w-jackson-chapter.jpg> 

When I think about Blind Equality Achievement Month, it occurs to me how much work we still have to do. My charge for all of us is to use this time to assert our right to belong.  <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=27466&qid=7716623> Read more from President Riccobono.



Blind Equality Achievement Month


  <https://nfb.org/sites/nfb.org/files/iof/iof-akron-chapter.jpg> 

"We use the word 'blind' because it reflects the belief that it is respectable to live as a blind person. We reject the notion that blindness is a tragedy that limits possibilities. For us, the word has power and meaning."  <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=27467&qid=7716623> More about how we celebrate blindness.

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.
