WASHINGTON DC<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> \u2014 U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) joined a group of 20 Senators to send a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland asking him to direct Federal agencies to update their Language Access Plans, helping ensure people whose primary language is not English can access critical information and resources in their preferred language.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLanguage barriers can impact access to vital services and information related to education, the legal system, health care, housing, and more,\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>the senators wrote to the Attorney General. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cWe ask that you issue a memorandum directing Federal agencies to update their Language Access Plans to meet the present-day needs.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These language plans, some of which have not been updated in nearly a decade, would direct agencies to update their websites to include language assistance services and boost the distribution of translated materials.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to the <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>census<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, 30% of families in Nevada speak a language other than English at home.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The letter was led by Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) and also signed by Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Jack Reed (D-RI), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Ed Markey (D-MA), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Tina Smith (D-MN), Alex Padilla (D-CA), Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) also signed the letter.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
