Helping Educate to Advance the Rights of the Deaf (HEARD)

Washington , Washington DC

Cause Description:
HEARD’s mission is to identify and remove barriers that prevent the deaf from participating in and having equal access to the justice system by enhancing the competence, capacity, and capability of justice professionals to manage language access and ability rights issues; and to empower the Deaf Community through education and advocacy. HEARD’s vision is to create a universally accessible American justice system that equitably serves individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing. HEARD facilitates collaboration among deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing individuals because HEARD views access to the justice system as a fundamental human right that we all should be working to make a reality.
