State agencies help families weather economic emergencies, care for their children, address health problems, stay housed, and much more. But while nearly 1 in 10 Massachusetts residents are best served in a language other than English, our Commonwealth’s services and information are overwhelmingly English-only, effectively denying hundreds of thousands of families the ability to access critical resources.

H.3084/S.1990, An Act Relative to Language Access and Inclusion (Sen. DiDomenico, Rep. Madaro, Rep. González) would address this crisis by standardizing and enforcing language access policies and practices at public-facing state agencies to ensure all residents have equal access to the services and information they need.

Language access is essential to the safety, stability, and well-being of our communities. Thank you for standing with us!
