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!
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 has distributed nearly 100,000 free white canes since 2008.
The Braille Monitor is the flagship publication of the National Federation of the Blind.
