Hi guys I love this sub Reddit. My best friend (and coworker at a braille transcribing company), college sponsors, and handful of volunteers and I are putting this event together to celebrate diversity and open people's eyes about blindness (hah.) we chose sculpting as the main event because its tactile and fun to have conversation over. Our guest speaker, who is blind herself, is going to tell us about the organization she started to empower the visually impaired community.
More info:
-April 30 11am-2 pm
-brunch and sculpting!
-raising money for Puppies Behind Bars
-FREE
-RSVP necessary please inbox me for details.
If you can't attend but would like to contribute I would love to hear from you. We want to challenge people's views and understanding of this community. Thank you for your time!

Ohh ok thank you for clarifying! I'm using my phone and the votes when from 8 to 6 so I thought there were downvotes.
I'm mostly concerned with popular opinion on this post because I'm going to host an event with a room full of people on the basis that we have different visual abilities, and it might offend some. So I just want to cover all the bases so we can at least be aware of sensitive topics

Don't worry too much about downvotes on Reddit. Users are supposed to only downvote objectively bad or non-useful content. However, most users think "content that is not useful to me directly" equals "bad content" and downvote it. So your downvotes are probably coming from people who aren't near Newark, and downvote everything that doesn't directly help them, and screw everyone else. Sigh.
Anyway, this post currently has 8points (100% upvoted). So you don't even have any downvotes to worry about. Improper downvoting was a problem for a while here a few months ago, but I guess whoever was doing it has gone away.
