For the more than 25 million U.S. residents who have limited proficiency in
English, language barriers can prevent or hinder access to critical public
services such as education, health care, emergency response, and the legal
system. Federal, state, and local government agencies also regularly need
to communicate with linguistically diverse communities to conduct outreach,
deliver services, and provide information. Removing language barriers to
public services—commonly known as providing language access—has been a
longstanding civil-rights requirement for state and local agencies and
other entities that receive federal funding. These realities and growing
U.S. linguistic diversity have made the provision of language access an
important practical concern for all levels of government.

State governments, in particular, can play important and unique roles in
expanding language access given key functions and services they directly
oversee, such as elections, policing, and granting drivers’ licenses, as
well as the broad powers they hold in receiving and administering funds for
numerous federal programs and funding streams.

This webinar from the Migration Policy Institute’s National Center on
Immigrant Integration Policy will explore language access efforts in
Colorado, Michigan, and New York—three states that provide important
lessons for ensuring the effectiveness and long-term viability of state
laws and policies that seek to ensure public services and information are
accessible to all residents, regardless of the language they speak.

State leaders will provide insights into how their language access efforts
evolved, how they are structured, and innovative approaches undertaken to
reduce language barriers across their states. This webinar will also
preview findings from an MPI report being released that day on recent
language access work undertaken by Colorado’s state agencies.
