ASL-first today — the world's sign languages tomorrow. Here's why we exist.
Deaf and hard-of-hearing people make up one of the world's largest linguistic minority communities — yet every mainstream news platform is built for hearing audiences by default. Caption quality is inconsistent. ASL content is buried. Stories about Deaf advocacy, policy, culture, and achievement rarely reach the top of any feed.
Mainstream aggregators treat deafness as a medical topic. We treat it as a culture, a language, and a global movement.
