Dr. Stern's visit aimed to empower students by highlighting the significance of their voices and the impact they can have on shaping the future.
During the presentation, Dr. Stern introduced students to SignVote.org, a valuable resource that provides accessible information for Deaf voters. SignVote offers various programs designed to help Deaf individuals navigate the voting process, stay informed about candidates, and learn about key issues—all in American Sign Language (ASL).
Dr. Stern emphasized that every vote matters, especially for marginalized communities. Encouraging the students to be informed and active participants in the democratic process, she highlighted how platforms like SignVote make it easier for Deaf individuals to stay connected and make informed decisions.
The presentation was a powerful reminder that voting is not only a right but also a way to advocate for change and ensure that Deaf voices are heard at every level of government.
For more information, students can explore the resources available at SignVote.org, where they can find ASL content, voter guides, and tools to help them prepare for upcoming elections.
