Deaf on Gulf Coast (Oil Spill)

It has been reported to that there may be deaf fishermen or others on the Gulf Coast who are not getting all the information they need about the oil spill because of a lack of sign language interpreters. If you know of anyone in the affected areas who needs a sign language interpreter at any of the public meetings to inform people about the spill, please tell them to call the Advocacy Center. We would like to help.
