National Federation of the Blind: Changing the World one Ballot at a Time

“In his 1988 children’s novel “Matilda,” celebrated author Roald Dahl penned the line “Somewhere inside all of us is the power to change the world.” When applied to voting, this sentiment becomes doubly relevant. To have the power to change the world, we must first have the power to make our voices heard through a ballot. For many blind Americans, making our voice heard presents its own set of unique challenges. The For the People Act (S. 1), currently in the United States Senate, sets out to rectify some of these problems, but misses the mark in a few critical areas.”

Everyone deserves to take part in our democracy and have their voice heard.
