Welcome to the National Federation of the Blind of the District of Columbia
Changing what it means to be blind in the Nation's Capital. We know that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight but the misconceptions and lack of information which exist. You can live the life you want -- Blindness is not what holds you back!
In Our State
Who We Are
We are the National Federation of the Blind of the District of Columbia — Part of the largest and oldest organization of the blind.
The best way to become a member of the National Federation of the Blind is to attend a chapter or division meeting in your local area. We look forward to your participation in the movement.
NFB-NEWSLINE® is a free audio and Braille news service for anyone who is blind, low vision, deafblind, or otherwise print-disabled that offers access to more than 500 publications, emergency weather alerts, job listings, and more.
The NFB National Convention is the largest gathering of blind people in the world. It is the premier event for training, support, and information for the blind community.
The white cane allows you to travel independently and safely—no blind person should be without one. We offer you a free one. You can order a new one every six months.
The National Federation of the Blind celebrates and embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion as core values in its mission to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind.
