Call and ask for their Chief of Staff.

Tell them it is urgent and is an emergency.

Fax if you like but be sure to add your name and address.

Tell them you are a Gallaudet parent and:

1. Support the resignation of Jane Fernandes as President
2. Support no reprisals.

I am concerned.

Saturday thousands of Deaf individuals from all over the world were at Gallaudet to march to the Capitol showing their support for the students protest and asking Jane Fernandes to resign. It was incredible to see. Blocks and blocks of Stakeholders marched to show their support and to demand that Gallaudet has a qualified leader to lead them into the future. Read www.gufssa.org.

Please, we ask you to act now.
