The Fischer Bodies are kicking off a campaign we call "40 Days/40 Rights" wherein we showcase different organizations or causes that we believe are paramount to..well...life. Making art. Being awesome.
The first week is dedicated to Deaf Awareness. So now you're aware. There are deaf people in Flint! And they use another language and it's beautiful. Director and resident mystery woman, Victoria NightShade, knows ASL although she refuses to say why. Check out her video here. Don't worry! It's transcribed into English. :)
In an effort to alert our fans and friends to many of the wonderful opportunities to get connected with the deaf community, we are posting THIS!!!! Just click on the link and you can see all of the deaf/interpreted events happening in the area.
And if you're one of many who say you want to learn sign language, we urge you to consider Mott Community College located in Flint.
The Fischer Bodies say, "I love You" with their Sign Language Interpreter, Carie Sarver!
Keep checking back for more information on our campaign. Get involved! Be fierce advocates!
