Dear Language Advocates,
JNCL-NCLIS invites all language advocates to save the date for Virtual Language Advocacy Days 2022: Language at the Intersection, February 2-4, 2022!
Each year, JNCL-NCLIS delegates and dedicated language advocates across the county unite to meet with Members of Congress and promote the importance of language education and international studies.
In 2021 we debuted the virtual version of our Language Advocacy Days with resounding, record-breaking success. Stories of multilingualism and the need for federal language education policy were heard by all 100 U.S. Senators and 180+ Representatives.
In consideration of the on-going COVID pandemic, travel restrictions for educators outside of Washington, D.C., and in-person visitor restrictions on Capitol Hill, the JNCL-NCLIS Board of Directors has elected to continue with the virtual format for Language Advocacy Days 2022 to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees and congressional staff.
While we look forward to the day when we can gather in-person on Capitol Hill, we are excited to continue this momentum through our virtual format by featuring new vendors and programming and welcoming back advocates from all 50 states with this accessible and impactful format.
You can help strengthen our voice and broaden our reach by sharing this event on social media and inviting advocates from your networks!
We look forward to advocating with you in February!
Best,
Amanda Seewald
President
