70% of adults in the U.S. who are blind or visually impaired do not have a full-time job. That is unconscionable.

NY businesses like @AlphapointeNY are changing that. Here's how:pic.twitter.com/nWX3I59IKS
Alphapointe hired more than 200 employees who are blind or visually impaired. Some are working on our national defense making tourniquets, packs and other military gear that assists our troops and saves lives on the battlefield.pic.twitter.com/BtnN6qtApJ
Meet Manny, who helps assemble mop heads and brooms. Fun note: Alphapointe made the brooms that were used to sweep the streets of NYC after @USWNT's victory parade earlier this year.pic.twitter.com/3DFNCqpj2h
Brittany started on the factory floor several years ago and is now 1 of 3 certified forklift operators in the entire country who is also visually impaired. That is an incredible story.pic.twitter.com/XrjCMRfCHD
This is why we need to continue investing in workforce development. It's about giving ALL New Yorkers like Manny and Brittany a job with dignity and good benefits.pic.twitter.com/SPgMUF9Ffu
Thank you Alphapointe for your outstanding work and the tour today. New York is proud to support your mission.
