As we continue advocating for language access, it’s key to remember that the heart of this work must always be the end user; the limited English proficient (LEP) individual. It’s not about the linguists, the organizations, or the industry. Without the LEP community, there would be no language access to protect. They are the reason this work matters and they must remain at the center of every effort.
👉 Read this powerful reflection by Milijana Trobradovic that reminds us of this essential truth:
Language Access as a Mission and a Career Path:
Let’s ensure that LEP voices are not only heard but prioritized — in policies, in trainings, in hiring, and in the future of our field.
