Closed Captioning in Public Places: What Can I Do?

An event in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights

Please join the Minnesota Commission of the Deaf, DeafBlind & Hard of Hearing (MNCDHH) and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights (MDHR) to learn:

• When I walk into a restaurant or bar, and the TVs are not showing closed captions (CC), what can I do?
• Why does it matter if I file a complaint with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights? 
• How do I file a complaint with MDHR? 
• How might my complaint help push forward the CC in public places bill? 
• What else can I do to advocate for CC in public places? 
• How can my community organization help advocate for CC in public places?

There will be a Q&A with Scott Beutel, Assistant Commissioner with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. Damon Johnson, President of the Minnesota Association of Deaf Citizens (MADC), will share how MADC approached MNCDHH about partnering on this issue and how MADC plans to advocate for it in 2023.
