[nfbmi-talk] Anyone Coming to Lansing Tomorrow?

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello All,

I am simply curious, is anyone planning to come to Lansing tomorrow to participate in the protest at the Capitol? For those who have participated in protests like this before, how did you go about participating in the protest as a blind person? Would anyone have any tips or advice on how a blind person could participate in such a protest while remaining safe and informed as to what is going on? 

I just thought I would ask these questions to spark a discussion for those who may be interested in participating in tomorrow's events, but may not know how, or may just simply be a bit intimidated, to participate in the protest as a blind person. While this may not necessarily be a blindness issue, I think it is important for all of us to have a voice in our government regardless if they are blind or sighted.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Best regards,
Elizabeth
