[BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]

The International Day of Sign Languages is a unique opportunity to support and protect the linguistic identity and cultural diversity of all deaf people and other sign language users. This celebration arises from the Resolution A/RES/72/161 of the United Nations adopted in 2017, which recognizes the 23rd of September as the International Day of Sign Languages.

Sign Languages, including American Sign Language, is for EVERYONE!
