Deaf Action NZ is a group for the well-being of D/deaf and their family

The Guidelines:

When we talk, we talk the correct way No stepping on other people’s ‘mana’, no swearing and no abusive talk What is the most important thing? Deaf people, Deaf people, Deaf people. Stand strong in your Deaf culture!

To you all is the power, the awesomeness and the respect! So enjoy yourself.
