"What if this was your Deaf brother, sister or child? What would you do?"

Last night I spoke at the Coffee Bean in Mission Valley (central San Diego). Every Friday night ASL students and Deaf people get together and just chat for a few hours and it is quite a fun place to just catch up with old friends!

At 8pm I spoke about this incident and the crowd was a bit small at first (mostly ASL) students but they still understood and were surprised about this incident. I told them to please e-mail our city council and mayor!

At 9pm when there was a bigger crowd and plenty of Deaf people, I spoke again. This time the crowd was more involved with the speech, we had three Deaf people come up and speak and talk about how this was IMPORTANT. One woman made an impact when she came up and said something that was obviously a strong point to get everyone to DO SOMETHING. She said "What if this was your Deaf brother, sister or child or relative? What would you do?" and it did hit the crowd. Now I hope they WILL get involved and e-mail our city council and mayor to tell them to HURRY UP and do their job.

Jared Evans was at the event as well and he was able to video tape the speech and he will be posting a vlog soon and when it becomes available please watch it!
