Join us for an interactive professional development opportunity to learn about Language Justice. During this training Community Language Cooperative will walk us through:

• Connecting Our Stories
• The History of Language Oppression
• What is Language Justice

Language justice when it comes to racial justice aims to remove the language barrier and provide full acceptance and recognition of the “whole self” for people of color, allowing for full and unapologetic leadership. It other words, language justice is about giving everyone the opportunity to participate in the language of her/his heart.
