“WE ARE YOUR FIRST STOP”

Mission Statement
The Language Access Caucus of the Monroe County Democratic Committee is committed to
breaking down linguistic barriers in our political and civic spaces. We work to ensure that all
residents—regardless of the language they speak—can access critical information, participate
in the democratic process, and feel represented in local decision-making. Through education,
advocacy, and outreach, we support inclusive practices that empower communities and build
stronger connections between constituents and candidates.

Vision Statement
We envision a Monroe County where language is never a barrier to civic engagement. A county
where every voter is informed, every voice is heard, and every campaign is prepared to meet
communities where they are—linguistically and culturally. As the Language Access Caucus, we
are your first stop: a trusted resource for candidates and officials seeking to communicate
effectively with our diverse population. Together, we’re shaping a more inclusive, equitable, and
participatory democracy.
