Who: Deaf\/hard of hearing individuals, members of the Deaf community, and supporters.<\/p>\n

Reason for this march\/rally:<\/p>\n

On May 16, 2009, there was a Deaf community meeting, and we, Deaf individuals, and our supporters decided to do something by planning to have a march-rally since we’ve had ongoing complaints regarding access to the City of Houston services including law enforcements, municipal courts, and other services. They routinely refuse to accommodate deaf citizens.<\/p>\n

So, we are planning the march-rally in downtown Houston to City Hall to address these issues to the mayor and City Council on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 (Again, our march begins at 11:00am, and for who can not walk, meet at our rally at 12;30pm). The city council meeting starts at 1:30pm.<\/p>\n

For signs, everybody is encouraged to make their own sign, and bring them over to the march\/rally. We suggest the statements on the sign are suggested as follows (no obscence allowed, please, if you are not sure, just email at HouDeafRights@aol.com):<\/p>\n

– "City of Houston and 1998 DOJ Settlements, what happened?"
\n– "Don’t Forget 1998 Settlements"
\n-"Stop Repeating History"
\n-"Enough is Enough!"
\n-"Deaf Citizens have civil rights, too!"
\n-"No More Discrimination!"
\n-"Communication Access Now!"<\/p>\n

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to email at HouDeafRights@aol.com or leave a comment here.<\/p>\n

Co-leaders of Houston Deaf Community’s June 16 March-Rally:<\/p>\n

Brian Determan
\nDanny Warthling
\nKathy Walters
\nKim Mitchell
\nOvi Velaquez<\/p>\n
