Statement of Solidarity
The faculty of the Linguistics Department at Gallaudet University wholeheartedly support the DeafBlind communities' petition for DeafBlind leadership and their demands for Helen Keller National Center (HKNC) (posted August 5, 2024).
We have long held that communities themselves should be centered in anything concerning them.
In solidarity,
