Dear Language Advocate,

We need your voice today.

Congress is making funding decisions right now that will directly impact
language education, international exchange programs, and our nation's
language capacity. We have three active advocacy campaigns that need
immediate support, and we are asking every member of our community to take
action on all three.

Each action only takes a few minutes, but together our voices can make a
powerful difference.

1. Restore Funding for the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Exchange

International exchange programs create life-changing opportunities for
students, educators, and communities while advancing U.S. diplomacy and
global engagement.

📢 Tell the Senate to restore funding for the Bureau of Educational and
Cultural Exchange.

2. Protect Critical Language Education Funding

Federal investments support language education programs that help students
develop the multilingual skills needed for success in today's world.

📢 Urge Congress to protect national investments in critical language
education programs.

3. Support World Language Advancement and Readiness Funding

Language capability is a national security priority. Funding for World
Language Advancement and Readiness (WLAR) helps build the language skills
needed to support our nation's defense and security objectives.

📢 Ask Congress to secure World Language Advancement and Readiness funding
in FY27 Defense Appropriations.

Do All Three. Then Share.

We encourage you to complete all three action alerts today and then share
them with:

   - Colleagues
   - Students
   - Parents
   - Administrators
   - Community members
   - Fellow advocates

The more messages Congress receives, the stronger our collective voice
becomes.

Thank you for standing up for language education, international exchange,
and America's multilingual future.

Together, we can make an impact.

Sincerely,
