Navigating the evolving landscape of federal language policy can feel like a big task, especially when it comes to supporting individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP). Understanding these shifts is key if your organization is committed to being truly equitable and inclusive in the services you provide.

In this hour, we'll break down some recent changes, including a look at the Executive Order concerning English as the official language of the United States. We'll also explore how current shifts in immigration policies are influencing language access across the country.
We'll be covering topics like:
- What the potential impact of English-only policies might mean for your work.
- How changes in immigration are affecting LEP communities you serve.
- Practical steps your organization can consider to stay compliant and continue being inclusive.
We're fortunate to have two leading experts guiding our discussion:
- Mara Youdelman, Managing Director of Federal Advocacy at the National Health Law Program (NHeLP).
- Jacob Hofstetter, Policy Analyst at the Migration Policy Institute (MPI).
Now is an important time to connect the dots between these policy shifts and your everyday practice, and to think about how to adapt your language access strategies.
