World Kindness Day
Real kindness isn’t inspirational quotes, hashtags, or “thoughts and prayers.”
Real kindness is changing how you act in the world so Deaf and disabled people aren’t left out, ignored, or treated as an inconvenience.
Kindness looks like:
• Listening when we say something isn’t accessible
• Not speaking over us when we talk about our own lives
• Challenging ableist jokes, slurs and “banter”
• Making space — literally — for mobility aids
• Asking what someone needs instead of assuming
• Using clear communication, captions, plain language, and patience
• Believing us the first time we tell you something is a barrier
Kindness isn’t pity or inspiration.
It’s respect.
It’s action.
It’s treating Deaf and disabled people like equals — because we are.
