An open letter to the NFB board of directors:

"The NFB, as an organization that advocates for the rights and well-being of the blind, has the responsibility to ensure all of its members, including those from the LGBTQ+ community, can participate fully and safely.
The time for dialogue without action has passed. We are calling for tangible, immediate changes that would ensure a future where the NFB fully supports and advocates for its LGBTQ+ members. No organization that claims to fight for the rights of blind people can afford to overlook the interwoven tenets of human rights for all."

Is it crazy that I am intrigued that both #NFB24 and #ACB24 will both be in Florida? Am I nuts for even entertaining the idea of trying to attend some of both? Maybe. I know, I’m terrible. 😂

I'm still recovering from #nfb23. But it was an amazing week of networking and meeting people, let's hope to do it again in 2024 in Orlando, Florida for #NFB24!

@meredith so it's not just the @nationsblind #nfb24 who made terrible decisions about their next convention venue.

Sitting in the Houston airport now with very little sleep, I can’t wait to get home to see the wife and kids. This year’s #NFB convention was great, especially for the members of our group. Looking forward to what next year holds. #NFB23 #NFB24

well, that's a wrap for #nfb23 for me, it was a pleasure catching up with friends old and knew. I depart for the airport in just under an hour, If we connected, and didn't exchange contact info, reach out and we'll sort it out, as some of you I literally shook your hand in n elivator or running past you, to or from a session, or in the imfamous starbucks line. Will you see me at #nfb24 in Orlando? Only time will tell! But houston it was fun, Cleveland, where home is, see you in a few hours, Dallas, I'll see you in 11 days!
