Welcome to the National Federation of the Blind of the District of Columbia - ES

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

Become a Member

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.
