Advocacy

A crowd of NFB members gathers outside near the capitol dome in Washington, DC.

The National Federation of the Blind is continuously working toward securing full integration, equality, independence, acceptance, and respect for all blind Americans.

Our advocacy work has centered on issues related to education, employment, transportation, voting, and civil rights, and is directed by the resolutions that are passed every year during our national convention. As the oldest and largest nationwide organization of blind Americans, we are able to provide expert advice in these areas to blind people, their families, agencies for the blind, corporations, and the government. 

Legislative Priorities

The National Federation of the Blind is focused on multiple legislative priorities that will improve the lives of blind Americans.

Advocacy Resources

The NFB provides several federal, state, and self-advocacy resources.
