DeafHope Announcement: Empowerment Directors

TRANSCRIPT:

Text: DeafHope Announcement April 2013

Three women appear with a “DeafHope” mosaic art in the background.

The woman on the right says: “Hi, I’m Jane Whitney.”

The woman in the middle says: “Hi, I’m Amber Hodson.”

The woman on the left says: “Hi, I’m Tara Holcomb.”

The screen fades to Amber standing alone. “DeafHope Board and Staff are taking another step towards social justice. A way of doing that is to create a flat organization to represent our community goal of equal and shared power.”

Fades to Tara. “That means we will not have one Executive Director. Instead, we all will become Empowerment Directors. We will contribute what we can with our various strengths and skills.”

Fades to Jane. “As a team, we will use those talents to make sure all service needs are met. We welcome you to contribute your talents to DeafHope as well.”

Fades to Amber. “Our focus will be on building the community capacity to support survivors by training agencies.”

Fades to Tara. “Encouraging individual and community accountability.”

Fades to Jane. “Providing information and education through social media.”

Fades to Amber. “We will continue to support survivors in emergency situations.”

Fades to Tara. “We will connect you to agencies that provide empowering services.”

Fades to Jane. “The best way to contact our team is to e-mail deafhope@deaf-hope.org. One of our fabulous EDs will respond.”

Back to all three women standing together. “Together we can end violence.”

CNN: Apologize on air for Steubenville Coverage

Let’s hold media outlets accountable for how they cover domestic and sexual violence. Join us in signing this petition and ask CNN to apologize for their coverage of the Steubenville rape trial.

“That CNN decided to paint the tears of the convicted Steubenville rapists in a sympathetic light and say how their lives were ruined — while completely ignoring the fact that the rape victim’s life is the one whose life was ruined by these rapists’ actions — is disgusting and helps perpetuate a shameful culture in which young people never understand the concept of consent and in which rape victims are blamed and ostracized. Changing that culture must be done brick by brick, and it can start by heaping public shame on this major cable news network and forcing them to admit that they are wrong. Publicly.”

Zerlina Maxwell’s 5 Ways We Can Teach Men Not to Rape

1. Teach young men about legal consent
2. Teach young men to see women’s humanity, instead of seeing them as sexual objects there for male pleasure
3. Teach young men how to express healthy masculinity
4. Teach young men to believe women who come forward and not to blame the victim
5. Teach young men about bystander intervention
