Deanne Bray’s rude awakening


LAVENDER REVOLUTION – a social media movement to end violence against women.

During past 5 years, more than 6,000 American women have been killed by their spouses and lovers in our own country.

This is more than the 4,000 U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan combined during the same time period.

Domestic Violence is a WAR ZONE!

We cannot ignore this WAR against our daughters anymore.

Join the effort to END the gender war by volunteering at a Domestic Violence agency.

What can social media do for the Deaf Community?

Photobucket
How can social media mobilize our Deaf community socially, politically, linguistically, and economically? Social media is a form of bilingual human interaction which is compatible with the Deaf community’s culture of collectivism. The Deaf community is the very first group of people to use social media to change the status quo: Gallaudet University’s second protest. We also used it to stop AB 2072 from becoming a law. We are still not tapping into the full potential of this platform. The workshop gives us the opportunity to explore new ideas of preserving, protecting, and promoting our Deaf schools and American Sign Language via social media platforms.

Do you really know the other side?
Bright vs. Dark? Mars vs. Venus? Republican vs. Democratic? Soft vs. Hard? Caffeinated or Decaf? Carnivores vs. Herbivores? Or even North Park vs. South Park?

Come witness two individuals try to outwit one other in this brief stand-up gig.
