Legalize Our Spanish Language in California

It's time for all Californians like you and me to proudly recognize the economic value, culturally enlightening and historic importance our Spanish language is for our communities, families, and friends.

The economic value is clear. There are an estimated 559 million Spanish speakers worldwide. Our US Census Office states that our country will have an estimated 138 million Spanish speakers by 2050 — which would make it the largest Spanish-speaking nation on Earth.

Let's make our City of Anaheim lead by example for our other California cities to follow. Let's make California an example for the rest of the country to follow.

Why is this important?

To legalize our Spanish language in the city of Anaheim, thereby inspiring other California cities to do the same by enacting laws empowering city charters to legalize our Spanish language fro today and tomorrow.
