President Biden: I have decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. There is a time and place for long years of experience in public life. But there is also a time and place for new voices, fresh voices, and yes, younger voices. And that time and place is now

Deafness does not cause language deprivation. People cause language deprivation in deaf children.

The district is trying to remove staff and resources from our schools next year while sitting on over $6 billion in projected reserves. They have the money to fund our schools. Join us and @SEIULocal99 next Tuesday as we rally at the School Board to Stop the Carvalho Cuts!

Thank you to the community members working with us on the shared goal of ensuring all deaf and hard-of-hearing children in Delaware are fully supported with as many resources as possible to meet their needs. We’re taking the time to ensure our next steps are the right ones.

This is amazing! ASL is getting recognition, integration & respect in many communities & media. 🤟🏼

This is not “inclusion.”

For 5 years, we've been organizing for a fair contract Instead of coming to the table, @AllianceCRPS has spent millions on anti-union efforts. Let's send a message loud and clear: recognize our union, and come to the table. Take Action: bit.ly/3KncFKj
