SIGN LANGUAGE FOR CANNABIS

The Collaborative Movement To Infuse Sign Language Into The World Of Cannabis

“Okay. AMAZING. Thank you so much for this opportunity today! I learned a boatload in only 60 minutes and Matt (of DeafinitelyDope.org) was the best teacher I could have imagined. This made a huge impact on me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

— David Tart, Marketing Manager (Curaleaf)

COMMUNITY UPDATE

In partnership with Matt Maxey & his team at Deafinitely Dope, we provided six months of FREE American Sign Language (ASL) classes for Budtenders & the cannabis industry. We learned words and phrases that helped us better connect with our coworkers, customers, community members & friends who are d/Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Now it’s time to bring the classes back - and you’re invited to join us!

CALLING ALL DISPENSARIES

Become a Founding Partner of Sign Language For Budtenders classes

The only way this happens is with you.

This community-wide need calls for a community wide-response. That’s why we’re doing things differently. Instead of 2-3 sponsors, we’re inviting everyone to help relaunch Sign Language For Cannabis classes! Our goal is 20+ Founding Partners at $15+/month to cover the minimal viable startup costs. From there we will work together to collaboratively grow the movement. (Click here for the financial breakdown)

INITIAL GOAL

A team of 20+ Founding Sponsors at $15+/month

“Remember: If you are building something and it is not accessible for, to and by all - then that means it is actually not accessible at all.”

Financial Transparency

We want this program to belong to the community. That’s why we’ll be posting financial transparency reports once classes relaunch.
