Other interpreting agencies are unlawfully pressuring #interpreters to remove #pronouns from emails, scheduling portals, and video platforms. ICS will never stand for this. Your identity is yours alone—no agency has the right to erase it. We see you. We stand with you. #LGBTQ
A teal and white background displays maroon text that reads “Stop Asking People to Remove their Pronouns.”

We need to talk about sign language interpreters in emergency broadcasts because: accessibility is NOT a distraction!
Read our letter to Charlie Kirk: https://inclusiveasl.com/accessibility/charlie-kirk-sign-language-interpreters-in-emergency-broadcasts/
To those in the CA wildfires, stay safe.
Charlie Kirk: Let us educate you about sign language interpreters in emergency broadcasts
It’s not optional—accessibility saves lives. Your recent comments about sign language interpreters being a “distraction” during emergency broadcasts misses

We’re in the information age, but so much content is still inaccessible. Let’s change that in 2025 with these resolutions:

Add captions
Use alt text
Pick high-contrast colors
Use plain language
Label your links

Small steps = big impact. #AccessibilityMatters
A black background with bold white and gold text, the text at the top reads: "New Year >> Resolutions To Create Accessible Content." Below this are five numbered resolutions, each inside a white-bordered rectangular box with rounded edges: “Add captions, Use alt text, Pick high-contrast colors, Use plain language, Label your links.” At the bottom is the website URL "InclusiveASL.com"
