Who We Are

The Coalition for Movie Captioning (CMC) is a coalition of major national organizations that addresses the theater access needs of 28 million consumers who are deaf, hard of hearing, late deafened, and deaf-blind. The charter organizations are: Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and the Hard of Hearing (AGBell), American Society for Deaf Children (ASDC), Association of Late-Deafened Adults (ALDA), Cochlear Implant Association, Inc. (CIAI), Consumer Action Network (CAN), Deaf Seniors of America (DSA), League for the Hard of Hearing (LHH), National Association of the Deaf (NAD), Self Help for Hard of Hearing People (SHHH), and Telecommunications for the Deaf, Inc. (TDI).

Vision Statement

We believe individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing and late-deafened should have the same freedom as anyone else:

 - To attend any showing of any movie in any theater at any time;

 - To be seated anywhere within the theater with their family and friends;

 - To receive equal access to the audible portions of the movie through high quality captioning;

 - To be guaranteed that the presentation of captioning is consistently reliable.

CMC is working on their website and permanent facilities. In the meantime, your best bet to contact them is through one of the officers.
