🎓 Congratulations to our inaugural Student Advocacy Academy class! Four virtual sessions helped students build stronger voices, advocacy skills, and the confidence to make a difference. #LanguageAdvocacy #SAA

Effective advocacy starts with understanding who you're trying to reach. At #SAA26, Amira T. Fahoum of @AvantAssessment shared practical advice to help student advocates connect their messages to their audience's priorities. #LanguageMatters

Student advocates at #SAA26 are asking: What does it take to be an advocate? From connection and humility to clear asks, our students are building their advocacy skills and learning how to turn their passions into meaningful action. #LanguageMatters

Our second session of #SAA26 kicked off with a message from @RepJimmyPanetta As co-chair of the America's Languages Caucus, Rep. Panetta encouraged student advocates to share their stories and push for solutions. #LanguageMatters
