VRS Launches Campaign to Push FCC for Action on Video Relay

ZP Better Together launched a campaign Thursday urging the FCC to ensure video relay service users have "equal telecommunications rights." The #StandWithTheDeafCommunity campaign wants action on "geolocating for emergency services and having one phone number for both texting and calling," the video relay service provider said in a news release. It also launched a documentary film that highlights the "critical role that deaf and hard of hearing individuals play in shaping society and underscores the urgent need for communication equity."
