[NFBSF] I want to pay my dues via Venmo! Hi, everyone: I would like to pay my dues via Venmo, but I have lost Sarah‘s Venmo name. Sarah, would you please send it to me or could someone else help me? By the way, the NFB endorsed black lives matter. Why isn’t it endorsing Medicare for all and universal basic income? Why isn’t the NFB demanding substantive relief for both individuals and small businesses? Aren’t those the greater priorities for this entry right now, which affect everyone including blind and visually impaired Americans? The majority of Americans want Medicare for all, both Democrats and Republicans. Our healthcare system is a failure. We have received absolute crumbs when it comes to any kind of relief, well corporations have been bailed out to the tunes of trillions of dollars! How can we in the NFB just sit here and not say anything? I think that we need to talk about this as a chapter, as a state, and Nationally! The American Council of the blind is equally guilty of ignoring the priorities of this country. We are in a depression, as serious economic collapse, and equally serious and deadly public health crisis! Isn’t it time we do something about it instead of just sitting around in allowing our leaders of both parties to demonstrate their heartlessness, cruelty, mean-spiritedness and selfishness? What is been going on in this country is downright evil! Think about all of the people who are unemployed, who have no health insurance, who are hungry, and you can’t pay their rents and mortgages! It’s unconscionable and unforgivable! Let the NFB flex his muscles and demonstrate that it’s truly concerned about the serious priorities of this country. Now!
