Inclusive Diversity Committee:

Invitation to Share Our Stories
Being Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and a person of color with a disability presents unique challenges. The California Council of the Blind wants to acknowledge them. The Inclusive Diversity Committee invites you to come to listen and share your unique story of being marginalized in your own country. When we listen to each other, we nurture and strengthen our communities.

When: Saturday, October 24, 2PM Pacific time
