Please cosponsor HR 4858
To: Rep. Levin
From: A verified voter in San Clemente, CA
April 25
The reason I’m writing is to urge you to co-sponsor H.R. 4858, the Communications, Video, and Technology Accessibility Act. Congress last updated telecommunications accessibility standards in 2010. Since then, we have developed new types of technology that didn’t even exist in 2010, such as video conferencing and streaming video services. Being able to use these technologies is vital to Americans with disabilities getting and keeping jobs, accessing emergency services, and accessing online and streaming video content. I am hard of hearing and rely on assistive technology to do my jobs. I use streaming video technologies every day and would function much more poorly without them.
