Did you know that there are 30 national sign languages in the EU?

It's a communication tool which enables communication between different national sign language users.

USA: Red T’s Maya Hess counters @POTUS’s assertion that Afghan allies didn’t want to leave:
“In my 10+ years advocating on this issue, I have yet to encounter an Afghan #interpreter who wants to remain in his country.” @scottbix @WHCOS @SecBlinken thedailybeast.com/mad-kabul-…
@criticallinkint stands in continued solidarity with our partners @JustinTrudeau and @theJagmeetSingh so the right thing. Late is better than never. – at Vancouver, British Columbia
Canada: @JustinTrudeau @marcomendicino @HarjitSajjan @CitImmCanada Accelerate the evacuation of #interpreters since safehouses are turning into deathtraps! #ProtectLinguists theglobeandmail.com/politics…

USA: @POTUS: “I know there are concerns about why we did not begin evacuating Afghan civilians sooner. Part of the answer is some of the Afghans did not want to leave earlier, still hopeful for their country.”
FALSE. In 10+ years of advocacy, not 1 interpreter wanted to stay.
@criticallinkint stands with @TheRedT and our partners in solidarity. Support our civilian interpreters!!
The world language community, together with its humanitarian partners @amnesty, @pen_int and @IRAP, are asking SG @jensstoltenberg to urge @NATO allies to implement evacuation plans for their locally engaged Afghan #interpreters. #ProtectLinguists PLEASE SHARE!
CLI stands in solidarity with @TheRedT and our global community urging governments and @JustinTrudeau to step up and protect civilian interpreters

Canada: @erinotoole They sat on their hands for years! Red T, on behalf of the world language community, urged the @JustinTrudeau gov’t many times to resettle left-behind CAF-allied #interpreters. Our last official letter was sent to them in November 2021. #ProtectLinguists
