Reshaping education policy

Multilingual learners are an asset to our communities.

Our education policies should reflect that.

As a refugee-led organization, we believe that refugees and immigrants need to have a seat at the table to help design policies that affect them and build a movement that demands change.

We’re building a coalition of educators, policymakers, philanthropic organizations, and more to advocate for data-driven, equitable education policy.

Our priorities include:

  • More flexible testing requirements for English learners
  • A federally-funded English Language Learner liaison position at the district level
  • Increased funding for English learners and English immersion models
  • Increasing the time arriving students spend in ML programs
  • Raising the mandatory graduation age

Working at the local, state, and federal level, we’re sending a message to lawmakers: Investing in English Language Learners is an investment in the future of America.
