Deaf Abuse Network and Education Advocacy

DANE Advocacy is a Deaf-led nonprofit dedicated to supporting Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, and Hard of Hearing individuals who have experienced domestic or sexual violence. Our mission is to break down communication barriers, provide trauma-informed services, and empower survivors through education, advocacy, and community-based support.

We believe every survivor deserves to be seen, heard, and believed—in their language, with dignity. From providing access to interpreters and safety planning, to creating culturally responsive workshops and youth programs, we are here to ensure Deaf survivors don’t have to navigate trauma alone.

Your support helps us expand outreach to rural areas, provide emergency support, and offer healing-centered programming. Together, we can build a future where Deaf survivors not only survive—but thrive.
