I am proud to lead the Language Access Board Act to fight back against these hateful policies, ensure impacted communities have a seat at the table, and guarantee that language access protections are enforced.

Chu commits to leading legislation that would create an independent board to set, maintain, and enforce language access standards across federal agencies and departments.
