Accessibility is in the recipe you follow, it’s the flour mixed with the ingredients, it’s the knead of the dough, it’s the taste of acceptance, it’s the utensils to eat, and the plates in which you share.
It isn’t the icing on the cake — it’s the whole experience. 🎂

Through our Help America Vote Act project, we monitor voting efforts around the nation, provide objective feedback on voting accessibility, and offer training to elections personnel. Let’s ensure that all blind voters are aware of their rights and responsibilities as citizen.

Blind voters and voters with print disabilities have the same right to vote-by-mail privately and independently that is afforded to voters without disabilities. Failing to do so is a violation of Title II of the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

Chapters are local communities within our state affiliates. The way that chapters get built and stick together is by knowing each other. We invest in the blind people there. Find the closest chapter to you: nfb.org/about-us/state-affil…
Outreach is very important for our chapter. To get out to the community and be a part. It's not sitting in a meeting and talking the talk. We both talk and do the walk.

Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act allows employers to discriminate against disabled people.
We support the Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act to end 14(c) and remove artificial barriers to employment opportunities. nfb.org/programs-services/ad…

The ADA and other laws protect the rights of blind employees and applicants; yet blind people remain at significantly low rates of employment. This self-advocacy toolkit is a launch pad to learn about your rights, resources, and taking action. #LaborDay buff.ly/3RvehCX

Critical attention needed. We support the Access Technology Affordability Act (H.R. 431/S. 212). Please share why access technology is important to you.
Urging @SpeakerPelosi and @LeaderHoyer to restore the provisions of the Access Technology Affordability Act (H.R. 431/S. 212) to the Build Back Better Act! This provision will help us improve education, obtain employment, and increase self-sufficiency!
