Please voice your opposition to the March 1 Executive Order designating English as the official language of the United States. This policy contradicts our nation's rich multilingual and multicultural heritage—past, present, and future. Declaring English the official language will not foster unity, support multilingual learners, or create a more cohesive and efficient society. Instead, language barriers will limit access to government services and healthcare for individuals with limited English proficiency. We must ensure fair and equal access to public services for all, regardless of their home language.
