🤍🦯 White Cane Safety Day | October 15

Today, GLAD recognizes White Cane Safety Day, celebrating the independence, mobility, and rights of individuals who are Blind, have low vision, or are DeafBlind.

A white cane is more than a mobility tool—it symbolizes independence, confidence, and freedom.

Let's continue raising awareness, respecting the rights of white cane users, and creating safer, more accessible communities for everyone.

✨ Independence in Every Step. Accessibility for All.
