Why Support ACB?
ACB encourages people who are blind or visually impaired to live and work independently, make positive contributions within their communities, and advocate for themselves. Through education, advocacy, legislation, mentorship, and leadership, ACB is making a positive difference in the lives of the blind and visually impaired, both here in America and throughout the world.
But our success depends on generous support from people like you.

Vision
Statement
To create a society without barriers for the blind and visually impaired community through advocacy, public awareness, collaboration and support.
History
The American Council of the Blind (ACB) is comprised of approximately 70 state chapters and special-interest affiliates representing a diverse range of groups within the blind community, including students, families, teachers, attorneys, governmental employees, entrepreneurs, vending stand operators, and the LGBTQ community.
Several of these organizations, including the state chapters in Missouri and California, pre-date the founding of the ACB itself. This mix of national, state, and local grass-roots organizations has helped ACB to create an organizational culture that values acceptance, peer support, diversity, democracy, and direct action.
During its over 60-year history, ACB has become a leader in national, state, local, and even international advocacy efforts.
