#WHccNOW
Dec 10, 2015
U.S.'s White House's online videos on their social media sites are NOT captioned.
Braam Jordaan wrote: "How can the United States uphold the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) if its own government doesn’t caption videos from the White House? While the White House provides closed captions (CC) for their YouTube videos, the lack of CC available on presidential and official Facebook pages and Twitter account prevents transparency and engagement with Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing followers on social media." More info can be found on his site here: braamjordaan.com
The reason we use 'Now' is because, often, cc are added later. This is hurting the deaf/HoH (hard of hearing) community by keeping us behind on important information and news.
Go ahead share this on social medias to get White House's attention on this important matter. Use #WHccNOW.

'qq' is a code for question mark, used in old hey day of TTY. TTY is a device (that you can see younger me using in the banner) we deaf people used for making phone calls. Nowadays we use videophone.
