NFB PLEDGE
I pledge to participate actively in the effort 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.
NFB MESSAGE
The National Federation of the Blind knows 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.
