ASL-first video you can actually find without a 20-minute YouTube detour. News, education, culture, and entertainment — all captioned, all community.
More than 30 years after the ADA, we are still fighting for full communication access with doctors, lawyers, therapists, and other licensed professionals. Deaf Equality is advancing the Communication Access Fund (CAF), a bold solution that ensures interpreters and captions are always built in, funded through small licensing fees. This means real access at every appointment, every time. In this #AskedAndAnswered video, Howard Rosenblum explains how CAF works and why it matters. Want to see CAF in your state? Contact us today and join the movement toward true Deaf Equality. -- V/D: The video opens with highlighted snippets of Howard’s message. He appears in a black suit with a gold tie, a white shirt showing at the sleeves, bald, wearing glasses, against a solid blue background. Text appears on screen with the question: “How can we have full communication access with doctors or lawyers? This idea is something I call, Communication Access Fund.” The scene then transitions to an animated GIF. A simple line drawing shows the sign for “asked and answered,” paired with a diagonal headline below that reads #ASKEDANDANSWERED in bold yellow text. Next, animated text appears on screen with a question: “How do we have full communication access with doctors or lawyers?” The words “communication access” are underlined for emphasis. The video continues with Howard signing his response. A lower-third title appears in the middle of the screen identifying him as “Howard A. Rosenblum, Chair & CEO, Deaf Equality.” The video closes with an animated Deaf Equality logo.
