New Jersey Needs Comprehensive Language Access
Your voice makes a difference! Join us in advocating for Language Access in New Jersey.
🗣️ Here’s what you need to know:
Bill A3837/ S2459 would require that all state government agencies that provide direct services facilitate translation and interpretation in the top 15 spoken languages by Limited English Proficient New Jerseyans.
Lack of Language Access impacts immigrant families across the state by preventing access to timely, accurate information, and existing services.
🗣️ Contact your Representatives:
Call or email your Assembly Representative and urge them to vote YES on A3837.
Sample Script:
Hello,
I am writing as a concerned member of our community to urge your support for Language Access A3837. This legislation is vital for ensuring equitable access to essential services for all residents of our state, particularly those with language barriers. Language Access A3837 is a critical step towards empowering immigrant families in our diverse communities. With one in three households in New Jersey speaking a language other than English at home, this legislation could be one of the most impactful in recent history.
I urge you to please vote YES on A3837. Help us make language access a reality in New Jersey!
Thank you for your time and your dedication to serving our community.
