The Illinois Association of Blind Students is excited to bring back our Student Excellence Award this year! m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…
@HeartlandSignal As a blind person I am astonished that you would suggest that I be denied the ballot. When voting was inaccessible to me b/c that is how it is designed, I have occasionally sought assistance. Are your seriously contemplating disenfranchising 10% of our population. I PAY TAXES 2!
@NFB_voice @HumanWare Very excited to see this. Let's help blind people live the lives we want and meet our goal.
