Many Languages One Voice is an immigrant-led and immigrant-based movement organization, building power within the District of Columbia.
Through grassroots organizing, advocacy, partnership, and community outreach, ​we foster leadership from and provide tools for greater civic participation of immigrants in DC who do not speak English as their primary language. We also mobilize the community to prompt systemic change to meet the goal of language justice in the District. 
Picture
Low-income immigrant communities have a rightful place in DC, a sanctuary city.
OUR VALUES
“Sanctuary” must mean a place that is safe for EVERYONE — not just from ICE, but also from increased arrests and criminalization. It means freedom from poverty, under-resourced schools, lack of affordable housing, homelessness and under-quality healthcare.
We work with, rather than for, low-income immigrant communities. We respect and follow the leadership of affected communities, including immigrants, workers, Muslims, people of color, poor people, queer people, and young people, who are the experts on their own lived experiences and are fighting for their own liberation. 
​
​Our City Council and Mayor have a responsibility to protect us from the harmful policies of the Trump administration. Current sanctuary policies do not go far enough in protecting all communities under attack, in all the ways we remain vulnerable.
​We won’t let Trump divide us into "good immigrants" and "bad immigrants". We won’t let him divide our Black and Brown communities.  We don't turn our back on our families and neighbors here! ​​
