The Language Access Summit brings together individuals and organizations across government and non-profit spaces working for language justice. We share on-the-ground challenges, strategies, and best practices to advance language access and language justice across the 13th District and Cook County.

With over 100 languages spoken across the 13th District and Cook County, language access is essential to ensuring accessible, equitable, and responsive government for all.

We hear from Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, Deputy Governor Grace Hou, Cook County Commissioner Josina Morita, and other leaders on how they are expanding language access and advancing language justice in Cook County and Illinois.

We work with leaders across sectors to listen, learn, and collaborate:

• Non-Profit Leaders and Social Service Providers

• Libraries and Park Districts

• Schools and Education Providers

• City, County, and State Government Agencies and Departments
