an opportunity to come together as a global community. Let’s give back and show our strength. Join us by supporting the urgent needs of blind Americans.

<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt">The need for current information is more important now than ever. We have responded by expanding NFB-NEWSLINE to all states, including those where we are currently unsponsored, and adding a new search feature.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
