Meet the Blind Month
October is Meet the Blind Month, a nationwide campaign to increase awareness of and support for the National Federation of the Blind.
- With over 50,000 members, the NFB is the largest and most influential membership organization of blind people in the United States and is truly "the voice of the nation's blind."
- The NFB seeks to eradicate the two biggest barriers facing the blind - access to information and public attitudes towards blindness.
- The Federation improves blind people's lives through advocacy, education, research, technology, and programs encouraging independence and self-confidence.
- The National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute is the first research and training center in the United States for the blind led by the blind.
Founded in 1940, the NFB has 700 local and state affiliates covering all 50 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The Federation is the recognized resource when it comes to vision loss, blindness, and rehabilitation.
The NFB's purpose is to serve as a vehicle for collective action by the blind and as a mechanism to help blind people achieve self-confidence, self-respect, and self-determination. The goal is the complete integration of the blind into society on a basis of equality.
An organization of blind people is the best resource for individuals facing vision loss, their families, professionals who work with the blind and governmental officials who deal with issues of importance to the blind.
Opened In January 2004, the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute is the first research and training center on blindness developed and operated by an organization of blind people. The programs, services, research, and technology of the Institute reflect, first and always, the consumer perspective and are responsive to the pragmatic needs of the blind in a way unique to an organization of blind people.
The Federation is leading the way in the promotion of access to technology for the blind by advocating for the implementation of national technology access standards, conducting educational activities to inform technology developers and others of the importance of access design, and assisting technology companies in their efforts to market helpful nonvisual access technology applications.
The mission of the NFB is to achieve widespread emotional acceptance and intellectual understanding that the real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight but the misconceptions and lack of information which exist. The Federation does this by bringing blind people together to share successes, to support each other in times of failure, and to create imaginative solutions.

With your help all will benefit from the research, technology, education, and inspiration of the Jernigan Institute.
