Cutting Title III is cutting futures. Help us safeguard FY26 funding for the 5.3M English Learners nationwide who need it most.

The House Appropriations Committee is poised to approve massive cuts to critical language education programs in its Fiscal Year 2026 Labor HHS Education bill. The proposal slashes $12 billion from the Department of Education – cuts that would be paid for in part by the complete elimination of programs vital to our communities, including:

  • ESEA Title III: English Language Acquisition
  • ESEA Title II-A: Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants
  • HEA Title VI: Fulbright-Hays

These eliminations will roll back decades of progress in bilingual and multilingual education, hurting students, educators, and communities nationwide! There is a better path forward: the Senate version of this bill protects these programs. But the House vote is expected within the week, and your voice is critical now.
