[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

Too often supervisors are hearies who don't take deaf objections seriously
enough to act on them. Moreover, too many deaf people do not know the
proper procedures to follow when complaining. Consequently, an outburst
gets ignored. It is just one of many things we Deafies don't get taught
in the hearie dominated profession of educating us. So in th end, deafies
endure the circumstances. Butthat's gonna change, just you watch and
see--oh, it sure is gonna change.

We have a D.E.A.F Network groupstarting up here in Tucson intended
to become a political activism group. We are trying to teach the Deaf
Communityere how tobe their own advocates among other things.
We call it DEAF EMPOWERMENT ADVOCACY FOCUS.
