[lg policy] citizens getting involved in macro language policy creation

[Johnson, David]

I am wondering if list members might share examples of "everyday citizens" (whether academics, educators, or anyone else) getting involved in national or state-level language policy initiatives. What are the channels through which an interested individual can have an impact on the creation of macro-level language policies? Examples might include the work of PRAESA in South Africa, the political activism in favor of French in Canada, and Maori revitalization in New Zealand, all of which have relied on citizens taking action who had an impact on national language policies. Could list members share other examples?
