     I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the National
Federation of the Blind; to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for
the blind; to support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to
abide by its Constitution.

3. National Federation of the Blind Belief Message: Volunteer
    The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members
and all 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. Our collective power, determination,
and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.
