Members of the <a href="http://www.tdgm2015.org/" target="_blank">Deaf Grassroots Movement</a> said hearing impaired are treated unfairly in the classroom, the workplace and in public buildings. The DGM aims to fight for the rights of the Deaf and future generations in the <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/03/deaf-grassroots-movement-national-deaf.html">Deaf community in all 50 states</a>. On Wednesday all 50 state capitols will have a rally for Deaf Rights, including <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln,_Nebraska" target="_blank">Lincoln, Nebraska</a>. <div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SVL5o94L7Jo" width="500"></iframe></div> There has been no <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_schools_for_the_deaf" target="_blank">School for the Deaf</a> in Nebraska, since it closed nearly 20 years ago and advocates said many students don't have the proper services and support in their schools. Those at the rally said employers pass over Deaf applicants because of a false fear of the accommodations that have to be met. Those who are hearing impaired said there are a number of phone apps and new technology that make communication with the Deaf much easier. The group also said many businesses and public buildings give audio information only including flight changes at an airport, which are announced over the public-address system. The group said it wants to tell Nebraskans not to be scared to talk to Deaf people and to include them in society. <a href="http://www.ketv.com/news/advocates-hold-deaf-protest-at-state-capitol/39375990" target="_blank">SOURCE</a> Follow Deaf Grassroots Movement on Social Media: Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Deaf-Grassroots-Movement-DGM-799439450175504/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/events/deafgrassrootsmovement</a> Official Website - <a href="http://www.tdgm2015.org/" target="_blank">http://www.tdgm2015.org</a> Deaf Grassroots Movement Hastags: Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/dgm" target="_blank">https://facebook.com/hashtag/dgm</a> Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/dgm/" target="_blank">https://instagram.com/explore/tags/dgm</a> Twitter - <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/dgm" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/hashtag/dgm</a> Related Deaf Protest: <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/03/deaf-grassroots-movement-national-deaf.html">Deaf Grassroots Movement - National Deaf Rally</a> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/05/deaf-grassroots-movement-nationwide.html">Deaf Grassroots Movement Nationwide Rally</a> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/05/deaf-alaskans-rally-for-equality-in.html">Deaf Alaskans Rally For Equality In Anchorage</a> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/05/deaf-grassroots-movement-at-alabama.html">Deaf Grassroots Movement at Alabama Capitol</a> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/05/deaf-grassroots-movement-at-oklahoma.html">Deaf Grassroots Movement at Oklahoma Capitol</a> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/05/deaf-grassroots-movement-at-nebraska.html">Deaf Grassroots Movement at Nebraska Capitol</a> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/05/deaf-grassroots-movement-at-maine-state.html">Deaf Grassroots Movement at Maine State Capitol</a> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/05/deaf-grassroots-movement-at-florida.html">Deaf Grassroots Movement at Florida State Capitol</a> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/05/deaf-grassroots-movement-rally-at-ri.html">Deaf Grassroots Movement Rally at RI State House</a> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/05/deaf-grassroots-movement-at-idaho-state.html">Deaf Grassroots Movement at Idaho State House</a> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/05/deaf-advocates-at-north-dakota-state.html">Deaf Advocates at the North Dakota State Capitol</a> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/05/deaf-advocates-at-massachusetts-state.html">Deaf Advocates at the Massachusetts State House</a> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/05/deaf-rallies-at-connecticut-state.html">Deaf Rallies at the Connecticut State Capitol</a> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2015/08/deaf-protest-at-white-house-in.html">Deaf Protest at White House in Washington DC</a> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2015/09/deaf-protest-at-white-house-2015-live.html">Deaf Protest At The White House 2015 Live Video</a> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2015/09/deaf-power-of-india-fight-for-your.html">Deaf Power Of India: Fight For Your Rights!</a>
