Members of the DC French Speaking Community gather to learn about their language access rights.
Elisabeth Hando of the Washington DC French Speaking Community association graciously invited us to give a Know Your Rights presentation at their February 28th meeting. The event was a huge success, with around 15 enthusiastic members in attendance despite the lingering cold and snow.  

Je suis fiere de ma langue & mon accent!

"I am proud of my language & my accent!" became the rallying cry of the presentation, with many members showing exuberant love for la Langue Français while learning how to stand up for their rights under the DC Language Access Act and they can ensure these rights are further protected in the District. 

We hope to see many of you at our upcoming events! See our "Events and Meetings" page for more details!
