Language Justice
Language Justice is "a key practice used in social justice movements in order to create shared power, practice inclusion and dismantle traditional systems of oppression that have traditionally disenfranchised non-English speakers."[1]
In the world of Community Bicycle Organizations (CBOs), Language Justice could include translating existing curriculum-based programs, such as Maintenance Classes, into additional languages that are used in your community. Making common translations of bicycle terminology available in your workshop can also be a helpful resource. See our Wiki page for Multilingualism for a table of translated terms. Beyond these small steps, recruiting staff or volunteers with multilingual skills and/or encouraging members of your shop network to build additional linguistic competency could enable your CBO to reach a wider segment of the population, and give your patrons a more comfortable experience with your organization.
