Salam, I would appreciate it if you would consider donating to my fundraising page. The goal of this fundraising effort is to raise funds to continue serving the needs of the blind. #Blind#Arizona#NFB#Phoenix https://t.co/GRbOklqjTQ

Be careful when you’ve hurt someone deliberately. If you’re guilty, apologise as soon as possible. Don’t hesitate. May the Almighty protect us from being the source of pain and tears in someone else's life. May He forgive our sins and shortcoming.
@carrieona11y I both use it and teach it. Currently developing my own curriculum for it. You know you are always welcome to reach out if I can help in anyway.
In Escambia, Florida, someone is trying to ban this children's book about Wilma Rudolph, the African-American sprinter who set world records in running and won gold medals at the 1960 Olympics.
What's so "controversial" about it?...
The impossible Louisiana Literacy test given to black people in the south in order to register to vote in the 1960s.
The test was a set of 30 questions and had to be completed in 10 minutes.
My teammate was told she was not allowed to fly bc she had a guide dog. Apologies do nothing here, this is garbage. Nobody deserves to have this happen to them. Dena is awesome, and one of the best #A11y advocates there is! #Accessibility#inclusion

@NFB_voice One of the most important mentors I had was Jennifer Kennedy while we were both still in Virginia. Her leadership encouraged me to push harder and go further than I thought possible. #BlindMonth#AlHamdulillah
I had a blind O&M instructor (Jennifer Kennedy) when I was in VA. There is nothing like being trained by someone who not only understands the importance of traveling non-visually, but lives it every day. The knowledge and skills I acquired under her have taken me a long way.
So well said by @tvimonique, blind mobility instructors add value, they are not a liability. Blind students seeing blind travel instructors is empowering! #APH22
Accessibility is readily achievable. Many businesses required to make their websites accessible claim to have no clear-cut definition of what “accessible” actually means. We urge Congress to enact equal access to digital content for disabled people. (S. 4998/H.R. 9021) #A11yAct
The CSTD will reveal something new on 10/4/2022, that will help people with technology! Appreciate you sharing this post to everyone asking them to follow us!
I’m applying for a program, and their request for proof of disability is SSDI. The government shouldn’t get to determine whether you’re disabled or not, and not all disabled people receive disability benefits.
"Given how much Americans rely on the internet and on mobile apps, addressing this issue now is critical to ensuring equal access under the law for people with disabilities. It's that simple!" @SenDuckworth during #NFB21. Read the full interview. #a11yAct
