I/D (1/2): The graphic features the Deaf Equality logo at the top, followed by the headline text “800+ ORGANIZATIONS. ONE MESSAGE:” and the bold central message “Protect children. Restore IDEA oversight.”
We urge the Administration and Congress to protect children and immediately restore staffing and support at ED. It’s a moral and legal obligation for our nation's children.
We are proud to stand with 800+ national, state, local, civil rights, education, and disability advocacy organizations in condemning the mass layoffs at the Department of Education (ED) — jeopardizing decades of progress in protecting students with disabilities.

At Deaf Equality, we honor the 15th anniversary of the CVAA and continue the work to ensure that technology and communication services become truly accessible for all.
On October 8, 2010, President Obama signed the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA) into law. The CVAA is a landmark law that brought us closer to equal access to modern communications for Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, Hard of Hearing, and Late Deafened people.

I/D (1/3): The image has a light blue background with the Deaf Equality logo at the top. Below the logo, the central message is displayed prominently in large, bold, black uppercase letters: "WE OPPOSE PROPOSED 503 ROLLBACKS."
(3/4) We also strongly oppose removing the goal that federal contractors should aim for at least 7% of their workers to be people with disabilities. Rolling back these obligations threatens equal opportunity for deaf and hard of hearing employees and applicants.
(2/4) Section 503 ensures that federal contractors recruit, hire, and retain qualified workers with disabilities. Specifically, we strongly oppose taking away the option for employees/applicants to voluntarily disclose they have a disability.
Deaf Equality, together with other deaf and hard of hearing advocacy organizations, has filed comments opposing the proposed rollbacks to parts of Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act.
