Our Team
Respond Crisis Translation is a coalition of language practitioners fighting to dismantle systemic language rights violations.
We use our voices and language skills to enable access to legal support, social services, healthcare, and all other human rights. We mobilize to provide both acute emergency response and long-term ongoing language access support.
