Following personal experiences and witnessing the transformative impact of “inclusion” initiatives, this petition is an urgent appeal for the recent DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility) executive order to be reversed. These initiatives have been paramount in empowering disabled individuals, including those who are deaf and hard of hearing, to become active and productive members of society and the workforce.

Organizations like the National Association of the Deaf have harnessed the DEIA order's potential, making significant strides in ensuring access to information, healthcare, employment, and education. These are vital for the self-empowerment and independence of deaf individuals, marking a milestone in societal participation and equality.

The DEIA executive order will roll back the achievements made in these areas, pushing back countless individuals who were previously marginalized and hindering their progress. 

We call upon our leaders to reverse this executive order made by Trump. If it is reversed that would mean securing the rights of disabled individuals, and safeguarding the continuing strides we're making towards an inclusive and diverse society.

For the sake of progress, equality, and justice, let us stand against the DEIA executive order. Sign this petition today to take a stand for inclusion and accessibility initiatives.
