2026 TESOL-NABE Advocacy Action Days

U.S. federal support for English learners at all levels and the English language teaching profession is being diminished. From proposed funding cuts to the weakening of the U.S. Department of Education and its Office of English Language Acquisition, your voice has never been more important. TESOL International Association, in partnership with the National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE), invites you to join the 2026 TESOL-NABE Advocacy Action Days on 22-24 June. Together, we will navigate this evolving policy landscape through timely federal policy briefings and take action through coordinated meetings with congressional offices. This is your opportunity to stand alongside a national community of advocates working to protect and strengthen support for multilingual learners. By attending, you will gain insight into the policies shaping the future of English language education and MLEs, amplify the voices of your learners, their families, and your communities, build meaningful connections with your representatives and senators, and strengthen your advocacy knowledge and skills.
