July 1, 2014, WASHINGTON, D.C. (ayyaantuu) – On Saturday June 21, 2014
the DC Office of Human Rights (OHR) convened a multilingual community
dialogue and resource fair where about 100 diverse limited and
non-English proficient residents made recommendations for strengthening
Language Access in the District. The recommendations were the result of
two-hour simultaneous roundtable discussions that took place in 10
different languages. As the second installment in a series of events
hosted by OHR to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of the DC Language
Access Act, this unique community dialogue supplemented report findings
from an Urban Institute study released in April, with direct community
feedback on Language Access implementation over the last 10 years
directly from the intended users.
