ABOUT US
What
Who
We are a progressive grassroots movement building support among Deaf and Hard of Hearing people for Bernie Sanders and his vision of a nation with better education, better health care and better opportunities.
We're coordinating with the Sanders campaign to assist with interpreter and live captioning arrangements. If there's a local meet-up type event for Sanders, contact us. We have a growing network of volunteer interpreters who may or may not be available in your area. Check with us and we'll let you know.
There are also many smaller community-based groups and events around the country that have no funds for interpreters, which shuts out local deaf folks. We recognize and respect the value of interpreting services, so we're not asking anyone to volunteer time for these UNLESS they are passionately progressive and would enjoy the company of like-minded people.
If you're interested in paid work with Bernie's campaign, contact the campaign directly. If you're interested in helping at local appearances as a volunteer, contact us at Deaf People for Bernie Sanders here on FB and we'll coordinate.
This website isn't for Deaf people only! It's for anyone with a hearing loss, people who know deaf people, or want to support deaf people, too.
We are:
Sarah C. Wilson, team leader
Kevin McLeod, coffee vampire
Josh Flinn, assistant
Paul Robert Waterbury, assistant
Kate Glafelter, queen of captioning
Angelica Lopez, assistant
Jibril Jaha- assistant
