the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.  Continue reading this press release

Blind Patient, National Federation of the Blind, and MinuteClinic Resolve
Litigation


Julie Dalton, a blind individual residing in Minnesota; the National
Federation of the Blind (NFB), the transformative advocacy organization of
blind Americans; and MinuteClinic, the retail medical clinic inside CVS
Pharmacy, have worked together to successfully resolve litigation filed
against CVS Pharmacy, Inc. over the accessibility of self-check-in kiosks at
MinuteClinic. Read more to learn

of the litigation.


Thank You for Your Support


The National Federation of the Blind does not often financially benefit from
legal victories. On the contrary, we are unable to recoup the costs for many
legal cases. However, we vigorously defend the rights of blind people.
Please help us continue our advocacy efforts and raise expectations of blind
people by making a contribution today
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=34087&qid=9883342> . Thank you for
being part of our mission to advance the lives of all blind people in the
United States!
