Supports goals and ideals of International Mother Language Day.
This Assembly Resolution (AR 123) is a symbolic measure sponsored by Assemblyman Kenyatta Stewart that supports International Mother Language Day (observed February 21). It encourages New Jersey residents to observe the day through ceremonies and activities, and directs the state to send copies of the resolution to UNESCO and New Jersey's congressional delegation. The resolution references UNESCO's work on linguistic diversity and highlights data showing over 6,000 endangered languages globally, including many Native American languages in the U.S. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or allocate funding but formally expresses New Jersey's endorsement of preserving linguistic heritage.
