Police failed to provide an interpreter, leading to a discriminatory arrest. A deaf woman's $1.2M verdict sets a powerful precedent for accountability.

Trump’s White House keeps fighting the same losing battle: denying ASL interpreters at press briefings until a judge forces them to comply. It’s not about cost, it’s contempt. Access isn’t charity; it’s a civil right. The Deaf community shouldn’t need a lawsuit to hear their president. #DeafRights

Cuts at the U.S. Dept. of Education threaten IDEA & ADA protections.

This isn’t just a budget issue. It’s a civil rights issue.

🚨 Deaf friends: After tomorrow, Medicaid access could shrink. Interpreter services? Audiology coverage? All at risk. This bill isn’t just beautiful—it’s dangerously silent about accessibility. #DeafRights #BBB

The Minister for Accessibility said an ASL interpreter was “distracting” and “shouldn’t have been on stage.”
That’s not a slip—it’s a failure of leadership.
Access is not optional. It’s dignity.
