Hey everyone! following up on my earlier post about https://berniesigns.com/

The site is now fully functional! We’ve built a platform that provides sign language interpretation and captions for Bernie rallies and speeches so they’re more accessible to the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. We were able to fund the project through small donations, and the response to our earlier Reddit post was really encouraging.

Our next goal is to move this live so people can watch rallies together in real time with ASL interpretation and captions. We’re fully prepared to handle the work and costs on our end, we mainly just need to get in contact with someone from Bernie’s team to coordinate timing and access ahead of events.

If anyone here knows someone connected to Bernie’s campaign/team or has any way of helping us get in touch, please send me an email at:

We’d really appreciate any help spreading this around too. Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone! I wanted to share something I’ve been working on and hopefully get some feedback and support. https://bernie-signs-for-all.lovable.app/ I’m starting a project called Bernie Signs: the idea is simple, making speeches by Bernie Sanders fully accessible with synchronized transcripts and live ASL interpretation, so Deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers can follow everything in real time. This is something that’s really personal to me. My sister lost her hearing after an accident, and she used to be a huge supporter of Bernie. Since then, it’s been much harder for her (and others) to stay connected to political content like this and I’d really like to change that. Right now, I’m trying to figure out how to make this work properly, and I could really use help from people in the community: If you’re an ASL interpreter (or learning) and would be interested in helping, especially with interpretation, I’d love to connect And if anyone has connections to Bernie’s team or knows how to reach the right people, we’d need their support to do this live and do it well The goal isn’t anything big or commercial, just to make sure more people can access and understand these speeches. If this sounds useful or you have thoughts, I’d really appreciate hearing them. Thanks so much!!!
