What if I disagree with RID’s position on racism, ableism, audism, sexism, homophobia, and so forth?

The EPS holds interpreters accountable for unprofessional or unethical actions and behaviors. As members of a trust profession, our actions and speech have a tremendous and far-reaching impact on our associates, consumers and colleagues who are members of marginalized and oppressed communities. To allow unethical or unprofessional behaviors to continue without holding our members accountable impinge on the provision of equal, effective communication that our consumers deserve and are an enormous disservice to our colleagues, students, and associates within the profession.
