In the fourth webinar in this series, Deaf advocates will describe the diverse experiences Deaf survivors have with domestic and sexual violence and with getting help from mainstream, hearing victim service providers and systems. Common barriers will be shared, with a focus on the barriers faced by Deaf survivors from marginalized communities, including Deaf Black, Indigenous, people of color, and trans survivors. Best practices for supporting Deaf survivors will be shared, including an overview of “for deaf, by deaf” advocacy.

For our May webinar, Tarana Burke – the founder of the Me Too movement – and Najma Johnson – the co-founder of Together All in Solidarity – will engage in an intimate conversation about their respective experiences working in the anti-violence movement and how we can apply the practice of Freedom Dreaming to building a more inclusive and accessible movement.
