What is Deaf Task Force NYC

The mission of the Deaf Task Force New York City (DTFNYC) consists of
Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing people

who joined force to implement short and long-term goals

for equal access for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing and Deaf-Blind people
living in NYC.

The Deaf Task Force aims to improve communication and information
accessibility within the NYC MTA transit system,

evacuation designed safe areas under the subway stations, 9-1-1
accessible emergency procedures,

emergency preparedness for immediate evacuation, first response in
emergency care training,

information on alert systems, accessible emergency communication and
notification within the law enforcement,

hospitals, and fire department — all within the city, state and federal
operating system.

“When information is ‘not accessible’ for the Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing and
Deaf-Blind people,

then ignorance kills, silence kills, fear kills, and neglect kills.
INFORMATION IS POWER,” quotes Jade.

Our goal is to provide outreach, education, advocacy and support in
collaboration with our community.
Let’s act bravely to make the change from being a divisive and
widespread community prone to apathy to one that is proactive.

Join us in the fight for equal access.

We need your power to help us create changes in our community.

We meet on the first Friday of the month.

OUR NEXT MEETING IS FRIDAY

FEBRUARY 2ND FROM 6:30 PM -8:30 PM

NYU: Silver Building, Room 403

31 Washington Place

New York, NY 10003

To learn more about our short and long term plan of actions,

we have reports available for those who request them.

It will also be posted on our blog.
