Our Mission

Long Island Language Advocates Coalition (L.I.L.A.C.) is a coalition of individuals and organizations based on Long Island who are concerned about the unequal access to programs, such as health care, law enforcement, social services and justice through the courts, by persons with limited English proficiency.  We seek to assure that everyone receives full and equal access to programs and services. We aim to do this by highlighting the systemic issues that create barriers to meaningful access, advocating for the removal of these barriers, and educating on the advantages of systemic change.

Nuestra Misión

LILAC (La Coalición de Defensores del Lenguaje de Long Island) es una coalición de individuos y organizaciones con sede en Long Island que están preocupados por la desigualdad de acceso a los programas tales como el cuidado de  la salud, los servicios policiales, los servicios sociales y la justicia en los tribunales para las personas con un Conocimiento de Inglés Limitado. Nosotros tratamos de asegurar que todos reciban un completo e igual acceso a los programas y servicios.  Hacemos esto para resaltar los problemas sistemáticos que crean barreras para el acceso adecuado promoviendo la eliminación de estas barreras y la educación sobre las ventajas de un cambio sistemático. 

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 declares,
"No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." 42 U.S.C. § 2000d.
