Fighting for greater accessibility

Sen. Jo Comerford has been notching legislative wins for people with disabilities. I had the pleasure of introducing her at an event at which she was named a Legislator of the Year by the Massachusetts Developmental Disabilities Council and the Arc of Massachusetts. The event featured a live transcript — crucial for those with hearing loss — which you can see on either side of me. I have a bill that would require closed captioning on TVs in public areas to be turned on when requested. Just one example of the work we have ahead of us.
