Open Captioned Movie Bill
- a Civil Rights Issue
Indivuduals of HLAA Colorado Chapters, the Colorado Association of the Deaf, the Rocky Mountain ADA Center, The Colorado Springs Independence Center, as well as Colorado Senator Joann Ginal and Senator Jessie Danielson support an initiative to bring open captioned movies to Colorado theaters.
In 2021 we want to educate the general public about captioning. Many people do not know that open captions (OC) on movie films are different from the closed captions (CC) that you see on newscasts and television shows. To read about the difference between closed captions (CC) and open captions (OC), click here. Consider how you can be involved and contribute as we strategize and organize this grassroots movement. Questions? Contact: Debbie Mohney, HLAA Boulder President Terri Shirley, HLAA Boulder Vice President Feel free to share this with everyone! To Read More Articles about Movie Captioning, click here.

Did you know captions benefit everyone...even people with normal hearing? Click on
Video Captions Benefit Everyone. We envision an educated public will view captions as normalized as today’s standardized accommodations, just like wheelchairs ramps are. We would like to expand our allies and work with indoor and outdoor theaters to accommodate the public with open caption showings, and increase our support base for our 2022 legislative "Open Caption Movie" bill carried by Senators Ginal and Danielson. Our senators would like to include people or organizations in Colorado or anywhere in the U.S. to create a broader base of alliances. Click for more below:
