For those who are afraid to participate in a protest

For those who are afraid to participate in a protest,

That's ok to be afraid, but please remember that our rights to speech is one of our American constitution amendments.

If we don't want to protest because of our fear to be arrested, nobody will take notice. What's more, we will not be arrested if we do not intervene anything and we protest in a peaceful way. Remember, our constitution allows us to speech freely for our rights.

The law enforcements or other agencies would think that we are solid afraid and let them oppress us. Therefore, they would continue violating the Deaf's rights again and again. Want that? Also, it might happen to every Deaf individual. Of course, we thank the police departments to guard us, but two things they ridiculiously miss are a knowledge of Deaf culture and their compliance with ADA. By protesting, the county will take notice, and they would enfore all the police departments throughout the county to follow ADA and to increase their cultural sensivitity toward the Deaf/HH individuals. Also, the protest will be loudly telling the Alvin police department and other law enforcements that what they did to Esparanza and other Deaf individuals was totally unacceptable.

Protesting in a peaceful way will get Brazoria County's attention and maybe even the nation's attention. This will increase law enforcements' communication accessibilty to Deaf/hh individuals and our rights will be correctly honored.

We needed more Deaf/Hard of Hearing people to get involved in the protest. It's URGENT!!!!!!

Fear is a great opportunity to grab, but it gives us a choice.....to use it as a fuel or to surrender to it. By using it as a fuel, Brazoria County's taking notice will be totally successful.

Please come join us and make a difference!
