*Sustain the languages and cultures of long standing and newcomer communities of color in the United States.
*Support multilingualism and multiculturalism practices and perspectives for students and teachers.
*Support the value of multi ethnic and multi lingual present and future.

What if we do not?
_{If we do not implement these practices we will continue to support and create a monocultural and monolingual society based on white middle-class norms of language and culture being. Without these resistances students will continue to lose their heritage and community ways with language literacy and culture in order to achieve in the US school systems. We need to support all students from ALL cultural backgrounds, rather than diminishing the use of their heritage and community ways.}
