In this episode of Next Up with NextGen, we discuss the 2026 ACB DC Leadership Conference with two members of ACB Next Generation – Moe Carpenter and Raheel Ahmed. They talked about their biggest takeaways from attending the conference in person in Washington D.C. and what it was like advocating for laws that impact the blind community on Capitol Hill.
