You don't understand...
500,000 to 1,000,000 culturally Deaf people versus a 30,000,000 hearing loss population? Do the 1,000,000 culturally Deaf need to fork over money to help the 30,000,000? Seriously. I think the bases are covered with businesses donating to CI and stem cell research and baby boomers buying hearing aids. What more can the culturally Deaf do? Unlike the late deaf, most of culturally Deaf have friends and families to attend to? A lot of them don't have an empty nest to look after.
In your context, it's better to unite over issues that everyone, even tourists and foreigners, have in common: access to captioning, access to signs, web accessibility and many more.
