The new US ASL ORG has formed with the goal of providing free ASL services for the Deaf in America.
MISSION
The Mission of the US American Sign Language Organization (USASL.ORG) is to raise awareness, funding and support for Deaf Americans who need assistance with ASL interpreters.
We will raise $1,000,000 and use the funds to pay for quality ASL interpreters to aid Deaf Americans who need ASL services.
Rockwell Butler, President and Treasurer

We will start in two cities:
North Las Vegas, Nevada
North Atlanta, Georgia
Come join our mission.
