CMRI: From Visions to Victory

We're coming together to celebrate a major milestone for multilingual education in Rhode Island.

Funding aligned with the goals of the Support and Access to Bilingual Education (SABE) Act (H-7389) has been included in the FY27 amended state budget - a significant step forward in expanding dual language programs for all students and strengthening pathways for multilingual adults to become certified educators.

This moment represents years of advocacy, organizing, and collaboration across educators, students, families, community partners, and supporters throughout Rhode Island. Together, we are helping to build a stronger multilingual educator pipeline and expand access to high-quality multilingual education for students across the state.

But this is not the end of the work, it's a beginning.

Join CMRI as we celebrate this milestone, recognize the people who helped make it possible, and continue building momentum for a multilingual Rhode Island.

Your support helps us continue advocacy, storytelling, community engagement, and efforts to expand multilingual education opportunities across the state.

We hope you'll join us! #MultilingualRI
