It always feels appropriate to launch a new year celebrating Braille. The diversity of our membership and fostering an inclusive organization is essential to the future of the National Federation of the Blind. More from President Riccobono<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=28473&qid=8262975>.

The Value of Full Participation

We strive to embrace one common thread that is tightly woven throughout our movement, “blindness”. We are a close-knit family, and it is our goal to create a place for every blind individual from every walk of life.

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.
