Sample Ideas/Examples:
Captioners – Set up in a public place (ala busking) and caption while interacting with curious people explaining what captioning is, who and how it benefits, and don’t forget the GA too.
Anyone -- Find a bar or restaurant with TVs showing sports (or whatever) WITHOUT captioning. Have a conversation with a manager, supervisor, or other employee about captioning and why it should be enabled. (Explaining the benefits, the audience, and the GA too!)
Help Us: As a non-profit, we depend on donations to achieve our goals. Your support is necessary and appreciated. Donate here: GoFundMe. Help us fight for quality captions for all!
