There's a petition to stop YouTube from removing community captions. VoiceOver, a screenreader I & many blind people use, encountered an #accessibility barrier on change.org, preventing me from reading the petition. @Change, can you add text labels to buttons? #a11y

I created two posters for the workspace where Deaf work around hearing people. I am trying to connect hearing people and Deaf people so, we can all communicate with each other. I want to encourage hearing co-workers to learn some basic sign language.
