Making Government Accessible

Jocelyn Yin

One of our grantees, Institute for Local Government, recently got some press coverage for their work around making information about local governments more accessible to citizens. Through translation tools, information on local goverment's websites are easier to read and understand in up to 15 languages while ILG plans on implementing direct translation tools for public meetings and other public forums. This work is particularly important in both the Central Valley and California state, where growth in immigrant populations far outweighs the growth in non-immigrant populations.
