[Perform-Talk] Fwd: This Weekend: We're With U! Concert—Over 100 blind performers

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi All:

Please see below for information about a very special global concert in support of the people of Ukraine. As the announcement from the NFB national office mentions, several of our members, including our president, will be performing, along with many blind performers from around the world. On behalf of the performing arts division board, I really hope many of you will tune in to this special event!

> 
> The National Federation of the Blind is the transformative membership and advocacy organization of blind people in the United States. We know that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
