Publication: Advocating for Language Equity
This case study, conducted by KCCEB and the Refugee Immigrant Collaborative for Empowerment (RICE), outlines a three-part advocacy intervention. The intervention emphasizes data disaggregation, language equity, and cross-sector collaboration to develop data-informed advocacy requests on behalf of Limited English Proficient (LEP) communities.
KCCEB thanks RICE partners and ACPHD for working together on this community case study.

Refugee and Immigrant Collaborative for Empowerment (RICE) is a multilingual coalition of seven Alameda County community-based organizations led by the Korean Community Center of the East Bay (KCCEB).
