For #GivingTuesday, support Deaf Equality as we fight for equality and systemic change.

Deaf Equality works every day to break down barriers for Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, Hard of Hearing, and Late-Deafned communities.

When they cut OSERS, they cut enforcement of education rights for millions of students with disabilities.

The webinar is right around the corner — don’t miss it!
Join us for “Do You Know Your Deaf Rights Under Medicare and Medicaid?”, hosted by Deaf Equality and Deaf Seniors of America (DSA).

Learn about your rights, access to services, and what’s covered under Medicare and Medicaid.

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.

Deaf Equality stands with more than 60 disability organizations calling for a Senate Oversight Hearing.

Recent actions by the Department of Education were not approved by Congress and put IDEA protections and children’s rights at risk.

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.

35 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
A landmark. A legacy. A reminder that our fight for equality, access, and representation is not over. At @deafequality.bsky.social, we’re pushing forward — for policy, for justice, and for a future where access isn’t an afterthought.

Asked and Answered: What’s the difference between Perez v. Sturgis and A.J.T. v. Osseo?

🏛️ Perez: Families can sue under ADA without finishing IDEA.
⚖️ A.J.T.: No need to prove bad faith—just discrimination.
