National Federation of the Blind
@NFB_voice
We are the membership and advocacy organization of the Nation's blind. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
- We have teamed up with @realUNOgame to create UNO Braille for off-the-shelf accessibility and inclusion! UNO Braille is exclusively available at @Target. Learn to play with Audible and Printable Braille Instructions at UNOBraille.com. #a11y #MeetTheBlind
- Blindness is a spectrum. Some blind people have some sight but still need to use tools like a cane. We’ve heard others might think we’re “faking it,” but we’re just using techniques that are efficient, helpful, and safe for us. #MeetTheBlind
- When you see a blind person, remember that the cane is our tool to safely and independently navigate the world—no need to shout warnings or try to physically steer us so that our canes won't bump into things. Our canes bumping into things is a good thing. #WhiteCaneAwarenessDay
- Our board of directors reviewed @accessibe's business practices at the urging of members & are deeply concerned. The nation’s blind will not be placated, bullied, or bought off. The Board revoked #accessiBe’s sponsorship of #NFB21. Read the full update: buff.ly/3dc4HDk
- If you're a blind or low-vision person, like this post so we can be sure to follow you on this platform. Retweet for us to connect with more of #BlindTwitter.
- It’s ok to use the “B” word. Say it with us: BLIND❤️🧑🏼🦯🦮
- 210 years ago today, a boy was born in Coupvray France who would change the lives of blind people across the world. Happy birthday Louis Braille! #WorldBrailleDay
- The United States House of Representatives has just passed the Marrakesh Treaty Implementation Act, which is the next step toward ratification of the #MarrakeshTreaty!
- Today is #WhiteCaneAwarenessDay! The white cane is an essential tool that gives blind people the ability to achieve a full and independent life. With it, we move freely and safely from place to place. #MeetTheBlind
- We are pleased to congratulate #BlakeStadnik, the first blind actor in a significant role on a major network TV show, for his debut on @NBCThisisUs on Tuesday. Progress is being made. #LetUsPlayUs
- “They’re going to get the wrong idea about blind people, and what blindness is actually like.” The #BirdBoxChallenge creates mistaken and harmful impressions of blindness and blind people, perpetuating misconceptions. We strongly condemn it. buff.ly/2F5SBMy
- We are so excited about our continuing partnership with the @Orioles, who will be wearing #Braille jerseys during National Federation of the Blind Night at Oriole Park on September 18. #BirdLand buff.ly/2CH7LYr
