Every non-profit organization’s dream is to have enough money to cover everything for everyone. #AboutTheNAD

[TRANSCRIPT & DESC: The video is in black and white while a blue square spins in the center and opens up with a dark gray bar with white text “NAD Law & Advocacy Center”. A bright blue rectangle with black text “FYI #8” pops up below. Sean is wearing a dark blue NAD polo. The NAD logo is on the bottom right corner.

SEAN: If a deaf person has a legal problem, the NAD tries many solutions -- a lawsuit is the last resort. Often, it takes many years to fight one case in court. ADA related cases do not give money to that deaf person who won, but some states have their own laws that will give money to the client if they win a discrimination case. An ADA-related win usually means changing the system and also means the lawyers receive legal fees. The NAD’s lawyers depend on those legal fees to continue our work. The NAD never charges deaf and hard of hearing clients.

Video cuts to a dark blue background. Red alphabet letters of “N-A-D” in American Sign Language appear one by one in the center of the video. The copyright text appears in white underneath, “National Association of the Deaf, Copyright 2020, All Rights Reserved”.]
