[Linganth] NYTimes: The MAGA War on Speech

[Toledo Bustamante, Nadxieli]

Hello everyone,

The LSJ Steering Committee has a meeting this Friday (11:30PST/2:30EST) and this is on our agenda. A few people on this list have shared resources and related statements and/or have expressed interest in working on this. If you are available and would like to join the LSJ Steering Committee to discuss/draft a response, please contact me at toledobustamante at csus.edu<mailto:toledobustamante at csus.edu> so that I can send you the meeting information.

If there are other ideas/initiatives in the works that the LSJ Steering Committee can join or support, please also let us know. We are hoping the SLA can either endorse the statement or put out a similar statement.

Nadxieli and Katherine
LSJ Steering Committee Co-Chairs

Is there a plan for the Society for Linguistic Anthropology or Language & Social Justice group to release a response statement to Trump’s move to make English the official language of the U.S.?
