MITESOL ADVOCACY AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

STATE ADVOCACY
MITESOL is currently supporting three state legislative campaigns championed by Michigan Immigrant Rights Center (MIRC):
Each action alert link offers an email draft to be launched in Gmail and sent to pertinent policymakers. In addition, the Drive SAFE link provides a call script to use when calling policymakers by phone.

FEDERAL ADVOCACY
Voice your Support to Fund Education for Multilingual Learners and ELT Professionals in Fiscal Year 25!
Use the TESOL Advocacy Action Center to alert your Representative and Senators today that the U.S. Federal Budget should not sacrifice necessary funding for multilingual learners of English and English language teaching professionals.
The 118th Congress is now in the Lame Duck Session, post national elections, and we still do not have a federal budget passed for fiscal year 2025 (FY25).
Operating under a Continuing Resolution through 20th December, one of the priorities of the Lame Duck will be FY25 funding - and funding for the ELT profession and multilingual learners of English remains under threat for cuts and in some cases elimination.
