Deaf Liberation Movement:

We got some feedback from other people about our objective and purpose of this organization. We decided to discuss these feedbacks with advisors, and decided that it would be better to change our structure from an organization (because we are not collecting any funds) and start calling our objective the "Deaf Liberation Movement".

Our goal remains the same...
To liberate Deaf people from people and organizations that promote oralism and discriminate against Deaf people who use sign language.
And to clarify some concerns, our movement is not against people who use spoken language instead of sign language, we will encourage using sign language, but will always respect people who can speak.

Flyer #003:

Results:

The faculty and staff who support AGBell's Deaf oppression philosophy had the flyers removed immediately this morning. Many people did not have a chance to review the flyers. I think the people who support oppressing Deaf people who use sign language were very embarassed and surpised that we, the Deaf people are starting to fight back and oppress oralism.

Some people have contacted the DLO and inquired how they can help out and become members of the organization. We thank their motivation and encourage them to spread the word about the Deaf Liberation Organization and this website.

Right now, the best way to help out is to make as many photocopies of one of the three flyers (the 3rd flyer will be posted very soon) and post them up where you believe Deaf oppression occurs.

Please continue to support the organization. We also would like to start collecting information or news about actions the AGBell (or any oralist) organization does that discriminates against sign-language users and Deaf people.
