Deaf Grassroots Movement at Alabama Capitol

Deaf News - Deaf Grassroots Movement at the Alabama State Capitol.



MONTGOMERY, AL -- WVTM13‎: In a day and age when communication seems to be getting easier with the increase in modern technology, there are still communication barriers for some citizens. The Deaf Grassroots Movement or DGM wants to break down those communication barriers.



The rally has been full swing since 9 a.m. today in Montgomery to bring awareness to issues like communication, education, jobs and equal access in the Deaf community.



“The Deaf community has been 'asleep' and has accepted the status quo," representatives from the DGM said.



The DGM aims to fight for the rights of the Deaf and future generations in the Deaf community in all 50 states. On Wednesday all 50 state capitols will have a rally for Deaf Rights, including Montgomery, Alabama.

"We've not been sleeping and accepting this, we've been oppressed. Hearing people have enormous control over the lives of Deaf people," said Susan Motylinski Lambert, one of the activists representing central Alabama at the rally in Montgomery.



They hope to serve as the new watchdog and backbone for the Deaf community. They want to provide state support to a diverse number of people within the Deaf community: From the educated to those who are stricken into poverty status due to the issues the DGM is fighting to address.
