Lau v. Nichols is an important case for Title VI protections connecting national origin with language. 50 years ago, the right to be free from discrimination based on the language you use was recognized.

#OTD in 1964, President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. This pivotal law prohibits discrimination in public facilities, such as libraries and schools, and in employment, among other protections. Language justice is among the protections covered by #TitleVI

@C2AJ Thank you for the mention! I like that in VA, it was the city doing this and not relying on non-profits to fill the gap. It’s a great model!

@ChelanDouglasHD Do you have this in other languages? We’d love to share your multilingual messages so everyone in your community can learn this important safety information.

@waEMD We believe it’s the job of the state to know how federal funds (assuming federal $ are going to these jurisdictions) are being spent so that all people benefit from those resources and life-saving tools. Start by gathering data. #TitleVI #languagejustice
