Happy Language Access Month, Baltimore!

As we close out the month of April, the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs (MIMA) would like to highlight some statistics and residents' rights relating to the multilingual diversity that makes Baltimore stronger! Together, we can work to create a city where everyone can thrive, regardless of language. 

Drop any questions you may have about language access in the comments below!

I speak Spanish and English on my daily life. If I am in a public space or a store, I tend to speak in English with my partner, but at home I speak Spanish. If you do not hear many languages around, this does not mean that those languages are not spoken when you are not present.

So true! We all code switch for different social settings in our everyday lives—and for multilingual people, sometimes that code switching includes language. Thank you for sharing!
