The <a href="http://www.tdgm2015.org/" target="_blank">Deaf Grassroots Movement</a> or DGM wants to break down those communication barriers. The rally has been full swing since <a href="https://ibpublish2.ibsys.com/studio/#" target="_blank">9 a.m. today in Montgomery</a> to bring awareness to issues like communication, education, jobs and equal access in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_loss" target="_blank">Deaf</a> 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 <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/Montgomery,_Alabama" target="_blank">Montgomery, Alabama</a>. <div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SVL5o94L7Jo" width="500"></iframe></div> "We've not been sleeping and accepting this, we've been oppressed. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_%28person%29" target="_blank">Hearing people</a> 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. <a href="http://www.wvtm13.com/news/deaf-grassroots-movement-heading-to-the-state-capitol-on-wednesday/39361756" 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>
