Mayor Adrian Fenty unveiled a campaign Wednesday to educate D.C.’s non-English speaking residents on their rights under the city’s language access law and to finally implement the statute three years after it went on the books.

For the roughly 60,000 D.C. residents who have limited or no English language skills, the 2004 Language Access Act guaranteed access to free interpreters, to translated documents and to a reasonable complaint process. But the District has accomplished little toward those ends, Fenty acknowledged during a news conference outside Judiciary Square.
