Social media has been abuzz with talk of a fund raising campaign for the Foundation Fighting Blindness. Called “How Eye See It”, the campaign invites sighted people to blindfold themselves and perform a range of tasks, then make a donation to the Foundation. But the National Federation of the Blind says rather than show people what it’s really like to be blind, the campaign perpetuates inaccurate and harmful myths about blindness. Jonathan Mosen speaks with Chris Danielsen from NFB. We have extended an invitation to the Foundation Fighting Blindness to appear on the podcast. We did not receive a reply to our invitation by the time of publication, however the invitation remains open.
