Our workshop will discuss the need for more robust language access, how it ties in with disability justice, work we have done with our own organization and big picture shifts we want to see to truly serve ALL survivors, not just survivors who speak and understand English, and who are sighted and hearing.  This workshop will serve as both a language access situationer and a visioning session to help inform what a campaign that advocates for language access as a human right could look like.
