Welcome to Language Advocacy Days 2025
Now, more than ever, your voice is essential. Join us for Language Advocacy Days 2025, where we come together under the powerful theme, "Language Shapes Leaders." This is our moment to take action and bring the need for comprehensive language education funding directly to the decision-makers on Capitol Hill. Together, we will amplify our stories, share our experiences, and demonstrate how language education is fundamental to developing tomorrow’s cross-cultural leaders—individuals capable of navigating and influencing an increasingly interconnected world.
Don’t Miss Out – We need your voice!
Language Advocacy Days brings together advocates from across the nation, offering a singular space to collaborate on dynamic policy strategies and engage directly with members of Congress. As the only event dedicated solely to promoting the importance of language education and multilingualism, we will work together to create a lasting impact on national language education policy, ensuring equitable access for all learners from K-12 through higher education. By raising our collective voices, we strive to enhance the nation’s multilingual capacity and global readiness.
This year marks a crucial turning point, and we are excited to gather once again in person in Washington, D.C. This event is a unique opportunity for passionate advocates to stand together, represent their states, and champion a brighter future for language education and cultural understanding through meaningful policy change.
Be part of the movement. Advocate for language education and help shape a more inclusive, multilingual future. Together, we will make a difference on Capitol Hill—and beyond.
