Interpreters- get ready!

This is one of the many reasons I wish the Girl Scouts wasn’t have its convention in Florida next summer.

RID is leaving Twitter due to Elon Musk eliminating the Accessibility team. One of RID’s values is accessible & effective communication access in all spaces where diverse, intersectional Deaf lives are impacted. Access for all. Now.
