About this campaign
Helping Educate to Advance the Rights of the Deaf ("HEARD") is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that promotes equal access to the legal system for individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing. HEARD is the only organization in the nation that focuses on correcting and preventing deaf wrongful convictions, ending deaf prisoner abuse, decreasing recidivism rates for deaf returned citizens, and on increasing representation of the deaf in the legal profession. HEARD has—with no office, no employees, and a miniscule budget—considerably advanced the rights of the deaf in the legal and corrections settings.
HEARD operates on a shoe-string budget, so if you cannot purchase a shirt, even a small donation will be greatly appreciated.
Our mission is to identify and remove
barriers that prevent the deaf from participating in and having equal access to
the legal system.
HEARD created and maintains a comprehensive national deaf and deaf-blind prisoner database, which it uses to ensure that deaf and deaf-blind prisoners have contact with community members and receive equal access to programs and services at jails and prisons across the nation. HEARD’s volunteers investigate possible deaf wrongful
conviction cases, educate justice professionals about Deaf Culture, conduct
deaf prisoner and defendant research, and assist deaf and deaf-blind prisoners
with access and civil rights issues.

We need to protect our deaf prisoner community! They have equal rights just like everyone else!
Police brutally against Deaf people. They need to stop it!!
Kelly Peugh told us about it and we want to help.
HEARD clearly shows that the actual purpose and intent of ADA laws is reality with real results in the justice system for the deaf.
I am so proud of HEARD and all of its accomplishments over the past year and am grateful to be apart of the HEARD family even if in a minuscule way. Continue to create justice for all! Lead on!
Adam & I will wear these proudly in support of the quest for equal access to justice for ALL!
The shirts are a great conversation starter to share "HEARD" with people.
