The Evolving Landscape of Language Access

Language access is essential for belonging and public safety. When information is available in various languages, it improves access to healthcare, emergency help, and fairness in legal situations. But what does language access look like today, and how is it changing?

Through shared examples and stories that show new opportunities and give hope for a more inclusive future, our panelists will discuss –

* recent federal changes and guidance related to language access,

* how AI and new technologies are becoming more common,

* why multilingual communication is important for public safety and emergency response, and

* how local governments and communities are adjusting to funding changes while still meeting language needs.

We hope you’ll join us and bring your questions and ideas to this interactive conversation.
