For the text of the Order, see: http://www.doa.louisiana.gov/osr/other/bj15-8.htm
Mano a Mano, a national professional organization of trilingual (English-Spanish-ASL) interpreters, supports diversity, inclusion, and equal treatment of all individuals. Unfortunately, Executive Order (NO. BJ 2015-8) issued by Governor Jindal goes against these ideals.
Mano a Mano will hold our biennial national conference in New Orleans on August 7, 2015. We choose to move forward with this conference despite the issuance of Governor Jindal’s Order. We aim to join in the fight for support of equal rights. The theme of our conference is Social Justice and the Role of Trilingual Interpreters, and this theme speaks directly to issues of inclusion, diversity, and equality among all members of our society. The theme also forces each of us to consider ways that we must be examples of social justice in our world.
We are encouraged by the response statements issued by the Mayor of New Orleans and business and faith leaders clarifying that religious freedom is not in danger and yet discrimination will not be tolerated in their communities. We look forward to engaging in productive discussions and positive growth in New Orleans on August 7th.

Mano a Mano es una organización profesional a nivel nacional de intérpretes trilingües (inglés-español-ASL), que apoya la diversidad, inclusión e igualdad de trato para todo individuo. Desafortunadamente, la Orden Ejecutiva (NO. BJ 2015 – 8) emitida por el gobernador Jindal va en contra de estos ideales.
Mano a Mano tendrá su conferencia bienal en Nueva Orleans el 7 de agosto del 2015. Decidimos continuar adelante con la conferencia a pesar de la emisión de la orden del gobernador Jindal. Aspiramos a unirnos en la lucha por el apoyo de la igualdad de derechos. El tema de la conferencia es La Justicia Social y el Papel de Intérpretes Trilingües, y este tema se relaciona directamente con cuestiones de inclusión, diversidad, e igualdad entre todos los miembros de nuestra sociedad. El tema también nos obliga a cada uno de nosotros a estudiar la manera en que debemos ser ejemplos de la justicia social en nuestro mundo.
Nos sentimos animados por las respuestas emitidas por el alcalde de Nueva Orleans y los líderes empresariales y religiosos aclarando que la libertad religiosa no está en peligro y sin embargo, la discriminación no será tolerada en sus comunidades. ¡Esperamos poder participar en discusiones productivas y un crecimiento positivo en Nueva Orleans el 7 de agosto!
