The U.S. Based Deaf Action Foundation, established in 2019, welcomes people from all backgrounds to join us in challenging and transforming systems in America. We educate, advocate, conduct research, and empower to advance the rights, services, and equal opportunities for Deaf Black communities, immigrants, and refugees. We envision a world free from discrimination, where barriers are dismantled, inclusivity is embraced, and voices are amplified through American Sign Language.
Our mission is to empower Deaf individuals to enjoy equal rights and opportunities in society, fostering a community that supports others, drives positive change, and embraces diversity.
We also aim to increase the number of BIPOC ASL interpreters to ensure that the Deaf community receives adequate services. By providing orientation, resources, and support, we encourage BIPOC hearing families to build stronger relationships with their Deaf children through accessible communication and advocacy.
