VIDEO [CC] - This is a GoFundMe campaign to raise $25,000 to light up the Daily Moth and ensure that it has a permanent part in our community.
The Deaf host ASL radio show, Alex Abenchuchan: "The word, "Deaf" is our own brand of human. It's something that identifies and connects all of us. We can and do celebrate our culture and our community every day."
That's why Abenchuchan started the Daily Moth, an online show that delivers news in video using American Sign Language. He cover trending stories and Deaf topics with a twist of humor and Deaf culture in new shows posted Mondays through Thursdays.

Many look at "deaf" as a medical term, as a kind of disability, or use this word to imply someone is ignoring you or is closed off from the world. This causes the persisting myth that we need to be cured or that sign language is an inferior language. Feel free to donate Daily Moth - Donations Here.
Why does this happen? Because our community is constantly defined by those who aren't a part of the Deaf way of living. We are framed as a helpless group of people that needs help and therapy in order to be successful. And whatever few opportunities come our way, those with privilege take away.
How do we change this? We change this by taking back our own representation, by knowing what's going on in the world, especially events that directly impact our way of living. We change this by being inspired by those who blaze trails and by supporting those who are oppressed. The collective strength of our community is more than enough to blast through any barriers and build new platforms.
I'm asking you to partner with me in this campaign to raise $25,000 to keep the Daily Moth running for another year.
I'm asking every regular viewer of this show to donate whatever you can to light up the Daily Moth and keep the shows coming in 2016!
This figure is based on operating costs and the minimum salary necessary for me to remain independent and committed to bringing daily shows to you. I will pursue advertisements and other revenue opportunities, but I can't start doing that without the foundation of your support. Donations Here
