JNCL-NCLIS is pleased to announce that Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) is leading a Dear Colleague letter that urges the Senate Appropriations Committee to support funding the World Language Advancement and Readiness Grant Program (WLARA) at $15 million in Fiscal Year 2023. We are thankful for Senator Booker's leadership and commitment to world language education. 

We need your help to attract as many bipartisan co-signers as possible to the Dear Colleague before the May 18th filing deadline. Please send an email to your Congressional Senate members to urge them to add their signature to this Dear Colleague as soon as possible.
