Language Justice Workgroup
The Language Justice Workgroup was formed to help identify and bridge barriers newcomers face within interpretation and translation needs. This group focuses on:
Educating the general public on the importance of language access while also helping community partners navigate resources available
Increasing professional opportunities and trainings available for individual interpreters or translators
Advocacy around language access at the local, state, and federal levels
The next meeting will take place on Friday, February 28th, from 9:00am - 10:30am with hybrid options available. Please reach out to RACI@PolkCountyIowa.gov to be added to this group. All are welcome!
