Show Notes

Now that President Trump has officially signed the Executive Order designating English as the official language of the United States, the full text of the order reveals significant policy changes — including the revocation of Executive Order 13166, which for decades guaranteed language access for Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals receiving federally funded services.

In this episode of Nimdzi LIVE!, we sit down with Carol Velandia Pardo, a nationally recognized expert in language access policy and the founder of Equal Access Language Services, and Dr. Bill Rivers, our country's leading lobbyist and advocate for language access, to break down what this order means for language service providers, interpreters, translators, and the millions of Americans who rely on multilingual access to essential services.

What happens next? How will agencies respond? And what can language professionals, advocates, and community leaders do to protect language access rights?
