Kathy: I am glad to hear about the task force. Please review the Health
Literacy Tool Box, a project of this list, I would like to list your group
as a resource. A single page write up with info on how to consult the force
would be great. Perhaps your members also have articles to contibute?

Hello All,

I just joined and wanted to let you know there are folks around the =
country (myself included) available as  resources for questions =
concerning the legal responsibilities to bridge language and cultural =
barriers. (Title VI etc.) I am the founder of the newly formed National
=
Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Task Force, a group of advocates and =
attorneys spanning education, housing, employment, the judicial system =
and health and human services. Chances are one of us can answer language
=
access questions. Also, if there are any advocates out there who want to
=
join us, please get in touch.
