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.

[America's Languages Working Group @AmericasLangua1]

Behold. The possibilities.
