ADVOCACY
At the Vision Resource Center, advocacy means being a voice with and for the blind and visually impaired community. We visit local schools, businesses, and organizations to share our mission, raise awareness, break down misconceptions, and promote accessibility and inclusion throughout our community.
Advocacy also means helping our members use their own voices. We keep them informed about what is happening in our city, encourage civic participation, and provide opportunities to attend City Hall meetings, public hearings, and other community conversations. We want our members to feel informed, included, and empowered to speak up about the issues that matter to them.
