Petition to White House:

Please reinstate the Spanish links on WhiteHouse.gov

We, the undersigned, are committed supporters of our nation’s democracy and
its fundamental principles: liberty, equality, and justice for all. Recent
actions by the Trump administration threatened those principles, including
the elimination – on Inauguration Day in 2017- of links to information in
Spanish on the White House webpage, WhiteHouse.gov.  On January 22, 2025
the Trump administration again shut down the White House Spanish-language
page and social media.

Liberty, equality, and justice FOR ALL require access to important
information. Although the majority (72%) of native speakers of Spanish in
the U.S. are also proficient English speakers (Pew Report 2021), other
administrations have provided links to Spanish versions of written
materials, to ensure in-depth understanding of those issues.

We urge you to reinstate the Spanish links on WhiteHouse.gov, so as to
confirm that your avowed goal to “make America great” includes the entire
nation.
