THIS WILL TAKE PLACE AT HCIL (HOUSTON CENTER FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING) LOCATED AT 6201 BONHOMME ROAD FROM 10am TILL 1pm. THESE POSTERS WILL BE USED AT THE RALLY.
THE DEAF COMMUNITY IS ENCOURAGED TO BE ACTIVE AND JOIN IN TO PROTEST THE VRI. ON AUG. 9th WE WILL MEET AT MMSC (METROPOLITAN MULTI-SERVICE CENTER) LOCATED AT 1475 WEST GREY, HOUSTON 77019. WE WILL GATHER TOGETHER AT MMSC AT 10am AND WILL TAKE A CHARTER BUS TO THE CITY HALL DOWNTOWN. THERE WE WILL HAVE THE RALLY AND MAKE EVERYONE AWARE THAT THE VRI IS NOT THE PROPER METHOD OF INTERPRETING FOR THE DEAF IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. PLEASE ATTEND THE RALLY IN SUPPORT OF THE DEAF WHOM HAVE EXPERIENCE MUCH HARDSHIP WHEN BEING FORCE TO DEAL WITH THE VRI. FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT US. THANK YOU.
