CCAC is now pleased to welcome Organizational Friends and Members to the CCAC network in addition to hundreds of individuals. The goal is to develop a powerful voice for captioning advocacy and captioning inclusion universally.. Your group, association, or organization is invited to contact CCAC and learn more. An "organizational friendly member" carries no cost nor obligation - it's a way to add your link to those below, build bridges for captioning inclusion, and show support for the CCAC mission and goals. CCAC is a place to "connect the dots" to add energies to captioning advocacy in the CCAC and in your group too - advocacy that may require months and years. The CCAC will support all captioning initiatives from others, e.g. ongoing in other established groups, from individuals who are members of the CCAC or not. CCAC writes letters of support for individual captioning needs, for new legislation, comments to the FCC, DOJ and other government entities, provides information to members in other countries joining us online, to those seeking others to participate in writing articles, and related, wherever appropriate. CCAC continues to initiate its own "caps" (captioning advocacy projects) to foster CCAC goals. Submissions for this website of useful materials is welcome.
