For one week only, Wave - a Language Liberation Hub is raising $15,000! Last year you all helped us raise over $10,000 and this year we need your help to go even further.

While the conditions for grassroots, nonprofit organizations have been particularly hostile the last couple of years, Wave has had the audacity to carve out a space in this sector focused solely on advancing Language Justice principles in our communities. Wave is bold enough to invest in a hub for Language Justice workers to gather, share and connect because we know that our labor is at the heart of our movements.

Your donation will allow us to pour care into our ecosystems through:

No cost Language Justice training & accompaniment for grassroots orgs
Language worker training and peer support
Sliding-scale resources for organizations seeking to transform their relationship to language

As many interpreters know, the responsibility to create multilingual spaces doesn’t just fall on the language worker — everyone must take part. Take it from our previous partner Megan McCurley, Executive Director from Latino Educational Achievement Partnership (LEAP):

“Serving an immigrant community well means ensuring that every person can engage in the language they are most effective. We needed to be able to interpret every meeting and translate every document and just being bilingual wasn't enough. Wave helped LEAP build buy-in, grow our skills and create the systems we needed to ensure we could maintain a truly multilingual organizational culture.”

It takes everyone to build truly liberatory spaces and yes, resources. Your support means more opportunities to work with organizations like LEAP to help transform their ecosystems through Language Justice capacity building. Your support also means more opportunities to connect language justice workers to build solidarity, share resources, and create spaces where everyone can thrive.
