Sign On for Equal Access
The DC Language Access Coalition is asking for your help in supporting the Language Access Act, legislation being considered by the DC City Council that would ensure equal access to vital government services and benefits for immigrants in the District of Columbia who do not yet speak and read English proficiently.
The coalition is asking DC social justice and community service groups and individuals to add their names to its sign-on letter. It is hoping to get as many signatures as possible by Thursday, April 24. You can sign on by calling Ruth Spivak at the Washington Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights, 202/319-1000, or by e-mailing her the following information: organization or individual name as you would like it listed; contact person, if an organization; and phone number.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
