Bienvenides | Bem-vinde | Bienvenue | Byenveni | Welcome

We know why you’re here. It’s basically one of two reasons.
‍
1. You know collective liberation will not be built in one language.

2. You met our founder, Jamila, you rock wit our values, and you’re curious about what we do (and all the language stuff).
‍
Either way, welcome. ¡Bienvenide!
‍
This is not just about language. It’s about frontline movement work and transforming our material realities by growing our power and capacity to build community, organize ourselves, resist the systems that threaten our freedom, and build the world that is our birthright.

All of that Won't happen in one language!
‍‍
Movements get siloed and disconnected when we cannot communicate across language, culture, and geography.
‍
Jamii Linguists is a purpose-driven multilingual communications team of language and movement workers. We don’t do single-issue advocacy because people don’t live single-issue lives. We’re Team Freedom. We’re #TeamJamii. We weave networks and communities together through language justice, multilingual community building, and Ujamaa solidarity economy practice.

Choose the path that fits
you right now.
‍
Jamii Linguists is your go-to partner
for creating multilingual spaces
that grow our collective power.

our work

We build community & movement capacity across multiple languages via projects and partnerships. Our multilingual movements membership (MMM) is currently launching with Spanish, and we are phasing in additional languages as the community grows. Our 6 core languages include:
Spanish, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, French, English, and ASL

_{We support ASL via partnership and/or referral.
ASL interpreting is designed to route funds to Black-Queer & Black-Deaf-Led language
teams and bring together spoken and signed language workers. Our network of language workers also includes African and Indigenous languages available for long-term (annual) partnerships only.}
