Every American deserves access to equitable and effective communication.

Accuracy and quality are not negotiable.

All Americans deserve equitable and effective access to accurate information.

Whether exploring online resources, reviewing health records, attending a telehealth appointment, understanding announcements on the plane or in a grocery store, or relying on safety alerting devices, clear access to information and communication is a fundamental right.

In 2019, more than 30 disability advocacy groups and Veterans Service Organizations formed an alliance. Known nationwide as the Clear2Connect Coalition, this unique and unified force urges policymakers to advance rigorous, standards-based policies that support access to information and communication for all Americans.

We cannot use information unless it is equitably and effectively accessible. The Clear2Connect Coalition has made significant strides to advance the accuracy, and quality of health and safety resources and communication channels.
