To all my colleagues in Adult Literacy and Language Education:
The immigration bill died in the U.S. Senate. That does not mean that the debate is over. Those of us who serve immigrant language learners should pay close attention to what is happening at the State level.
All of our Delegates to the State Legislature will be up for re-election this coming fall. Please be aware of where the candidates stand on issues of adult education and laws affecting our language learners. The summer is the time to get to know your legislators and candidates for local office. This is the time to promote your programs, the importance of the work we do and the value added to the economy with every student success story.
Please advance our agenda now and during the election, so we will not be faced with critical battles during next year's legislative session.
Many thanks,
Patricia Donnelly, Literacy Council of Northern Virginia
