Organizational Friends
CCAC reaches out to any non-profit organization to “join hands” here – we link to your organizational website – and welcome collaborations for captioning inclusion universally. Deaf or hearing non-profits, please get in touch soon. CCAC “Organizational Friends” are valued allies in our shared interest and advocacy for inclusion of quality captioning universally. There is still so much more to do!
Contact the CCAC or simply send us the contact information as listed below for others. An “organizational friend” carries no cost nor obligation; while donations to support CCAC (all volunteers) is always welcome! We link to your web below, aim to build bridges for captioning inclusion, and show support for the CCAC mission and goals – and support your goals related to captioning matters too.
The CCAC supports captioning initiatives from others in established groups and from individuals who are members of the CCAC or not. CCAC writes letters of support for individual captioning needs, promotes new legislation, develops comments to the FCC, DOJ and other U.S. government entities, and joins efforts internationally. The CCAC initiates its own “CAPs” (Captioning Advocacy Projects) to foster CCAC’s mission.
