With the threat of Section 504 being deemed unconstitutional (!!) in seventeen states, now is as good a time as any to remind everyone that deaf culture deserves to thrive, disabled people deserve to thrive, and anyone who disagrees with that is firmly on the wrong side of history and humanity.

Huge thank you to one of our first sponsors - Convo Communications! Thank you for supporting deaf culture and the arts!!

Our values are: community, equity, inclusion, and diversity. If this is you, let’s talk!

#nonProfit #deafCulture

“Something my mom always said to my sisters and me when we were growing up was that being deaf was not something to be fixed. It was always something to be celebrated”

“Deaf culture is rich, vibrant, and deserves to thrive in every way possible.”

Read our new interview on @mymodernmet.bsky.social !

Deaf culture is all too often appropriated for profit by people and companies with no ties to the community. Support artists from the deaf community. Learn ASL from deaf teachers. And pay them!!

KissFist Mural Fest is designed to be place of connection, NOT isolation. It is part of a larger, existing movement for social change that is dedicated to embracing disability and creating accessible spaces where people can gather and build community.

It’s tax deductible 🐶💅🏾

Hi! We are off to a great start with our fundraising but we have a ways to go and could use some help.

I made these Community Over Competition stickers (it’s the festival motto!!) and will mail one to everyone who donates any amount. Please share! fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/kiss-fist-mu...

What exactly does “Kissfist” mean? Here’s Dan to explain! #ASL #deaf #coda #hardOfHearing #deafBlind #murals

We have the power to build the world we wish to live in. Every effort towards a kinder, freer, more accessible future is worthwhile. Even when it seems very far away.
