💙September 22 – 28, 2025 is International Week of Deaf People! 💙

This year's theme, "No Human Rights Without Sign Language Rights" is a reminder to us all that access to language and information is not a privilege, it is a right. We recognize that full access to language is foundational to relationships, education, employment, health care, and all aspects of daily life.

This week we hope you will join us in celebration of Deaf identity, culture, and rights.
