Violence Free Minnesota (VFM) and ThinkSelf Deaf Adult Education and Advocacy partnered to make VFM’s February 24, 2024 Statement on Burnsville Police and EMT Domestic Violence Homicides more accessible to the Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, Hard of Hearing and Late Deafened Community. This ASL version is not exact but is an accurate translation of the Statement and is intended to promote awareness of the complex issues surrounding this tragedy. If you have any questions please reach out to ThinkSelf at hello@thinkself.org or 651-829-9089.
