Support the Language Access and Inclusion Act!
![Take Action! Tell Massachusetts Lawmakers: Everyone must have equal access to our government, no matter what language they speak. Support the Language Access and Inclusion Act!](https://can2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/letters/photos/000/256/403/original/Language_Access_2023_Co-Sponsorship_Header.png)
State agencies help families weather economic emergencies, care for their children, address health problems, stay housed, and much more. But while nearly 1 in 10 Massachusetts residents are best served in a language other than English, our Commonwealth’s services and information are overwhelmingly English-only, effectively denying hundreds of thousands of families the ability to access critical resources.
H.3084/S.1990, An Act Relative to Language Access and Inclusion (Sen. DiDomenico, Rep. Madaro, Rep. González) would address this crisis by standardizing and enforcing language access policies and practices at public-facing state agencies to ensure all residents have equal access to the services and information they need.
