Language is a matter of #socialjustice, of #civiljustice, of #criminialjustice, of #accesstojustice, of #selfdetermination, of access to #healthcare. For these reasons, #languagelearning must be accessible to all.
This is the focus of our forthcoming guide to exemplary programs.

The America’s #Languages Portal, coming soon, will help to broaden the conversation about language education to include matters of social justice and equity. Everyone, of every age and background, from every corner of the country, can have access to languages other than English.

With funding from @MellonFdn, the America's #Languages Portal--launching this Thursday--will foreground #access as a goal in language education.
Every learner can and should have access to languages other than English. The Portal will gather model programs from across the US.

Following the launch of the America's #Languages Portal, tomorrow, we will spend the next several months collecting and adding new model programs that highlight #languageaccess. With your help, the value of the resource will grow over time.
