White House Press Briefings To Provide ASL Interpretation, Press Secretary Says
President Joe Biden is committed to building a more inclusive and more just U.S. for every American, said White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
Daily White House press briefings will include an American Sign Language interpreter as part of the Biden administration’s accessibility and inclusion efforts, White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced Monday.
Monday’s interpreter ― identified only as Heather ― joined the briefing virtually. President Joe Biden’s White House also offered an interpreter during at least one of last week’s briefings.
