These volunteers are making Black Lives Matter videos accessible to deaf activists
- A group of volunteers on Twitter noticed that many Black Lives Matter videos were missing captions, so they set up @ProtestAccess. Users can tag this account to ask for transcriptions of a video, which over 250 people are on hand to transcribe. Since starting in June, they’ve posted over 500 captioned videos, whilst encouraging the original uploaders (especially large organisations) to provide captions from now on.
