IMAGINEERING OUR FUTURE

  _____  

	




President's Letter




An important part of advocacy is education about our movement. Sometimes
education comes through interesting questions, which pushes both the
questioner and me to think more deeply about what we do.
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=33116&qid=9631614> More from
President Riccobono.



Self-Advocacy Toolkits Make a Difference




"The toolkits provide resources all in one place. I used the employment
toolkit and appreciated the examples of things like reasonable
accommodations."  <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=33117&qid=9631614>
More about how we empower blind people to advocate for themselves.

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.
