🚨 BIG NEWS for the Deaf Community! 🚨
The CVTA (Communications, Video, and Technology Accessibility Act) is BACK — and this time it has support from BOTH Democrats and Republicans! 🙌
This bill could make a huge difference for Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities by helping ensure equal access to technology and communication.
📌 What the CVTA would do:
✅ Improve captioning quality on streaming platforms and new technology
✅ Allow direct 9-1-1 calls in sign language
✅ Make sure new technology is built with accessibility from the start
This is real progress… but we still need your support! 💪

BIG NEWS for the Deaf Community!
BIG NEWS for the Deaf Community!LIZZIE: I have some news, really big news – an update about the CVTA. Democrats AND Republicans support this bill! Finally, progress that we’ve all been waiting for. Congress just reintroduced the Communications, Video, and Technology Accessibility Act (CVTA) and this time – its bipartisan. This means BOTH Republicans and Democrats support this bill. In the past, the bill was proposed only to hit roadblocks and roadblocks.
If the CVTA passes – the bill is very long, but I’ll share the top three key points so you can get an idea:
1 – Improve captioning by making sure current rules apply to streaming and current technologies.
2 – Ability to call 9-1-1 directly in sign language.
3 – And to make sure new technologies are built with accessibility from the start.
Tech access shouldn’t be a luxury! All people should have access. It’s our right! We’re almost there! Contact your lawmakers in your state and tell them you support the CVTA.]
