Deaf people rally for equality in Anchorage

A loosely organized group of deaf and hearing impaired people hosted an town hall rally of sorts on the Parkstrip Wednesday. It was part of the nation-wide Deaf Grassroots Movement. Rallies were held in dozens of states on May 4, 2016 to bring awareness that the Deaf community largely feels discriminated against. The three main areas of emphasis include access to interpreters, equal educational opportunities and job equality. Watch this video to understand some of the complaints the Anchorage Deaf community has.

Deaf have rights just like hearing people do, they have the right to have a job, home, school. I support deaf people in every way.
