Language Justice in the United States: Reclaiming Voice, Culture, and Reality

It is about ensuring that every individual—regardless of the language they speak—has equitable access to rights, resources, and representation. Here, I invite you to explore language justice through a broader philosophical lens while grounding it in the everyday realities of legal systems, education, healthcare, and cultural survival.
