[NFBF-L] Meet the Blind Month

[DENISE VALKEMA]

Meet the Blind Month:
The National Federation of the Blind celebrates Meet the Blind Month every October, with members conducting outreach activities across the country. If you are looking for ideas, a recommendation is to focus on lived experiences with problem solving, self-confidence, and intersectionality. Plan a virtual event in your local community to talk about blindness and the Federation philosophy. Invite schools, libraries, and other establishments. The Courtesy Rules of Blindness resource or White Cane Awareness Day resources are great to share. If needed, there is still time to order materials from the Independence Market such as Braille alphabet cards. Send the date of your event and a brief description toweb at nfb.org. Please use #MeetTheBlind in social media
