Action Alerts from National Association of the Deaf
NAD Calls for Equal Access to Community Services and for Strong ADA
Rules for Businesses
Want better access to health care? Want to make sure video remote
interpreting (VRI) services are used appropriately? Want equal
communication access with police? Want to see more captioned movies?
Want stadium events captioned? Want hospitals, hotels, and motels to
provide videophones, not just TTYs? Want to make sure relay calls are
treated the same as telephone calls?
Take Action Now!
The US Department of Justice proposed changes to the rules for two
parts of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA):
1. ADA Title II — state and local governments
2. ADA Title III — public accommodations
The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) has posted two Action
Alerts on the NAD Advocacy Blog (http://blogs.nad.org/advocacy/
):
1. NAD Calls for Equal Access to Community Services
2. NAD Calls for Strong ADA Rules for Businesses
These Action Alerts provide a summary of the NAD comments to the US
Department of Justice. They also provide links so you can tell the
Department of Justice what you think. The NAD is fighting for equal
access and advocating for strong ADA rules for businesses and state
and local governments. You can, too.
Tell the Department of Justice:
I support the comments of the National Association of the Deaf (NAD).
