Did you know that nearly 50% of New Yorkers speak a language other than English at home? Today is International Mother Language Day, a United Nations day of observance to celebrate the importance of linguistic and cultural diversity around the word. This year’s theme is “Youth voices on multilingual education.” To celebrate, and remind multilingual New Yorkers of your voting rights, NYC Votes Youth Ambassadors “passed the phone” in their mother language! Go to nycvotes.org/accessiblity and nyccec to learn more about language accessibility options at the polls. How do you say “vote” in your mother language? unesco #MotherLanguageDay #MotherTongueDay #NativeLanguage
