The United States, despite its vast linguistic diversity, has no official language at the federal level. This traces back to the nation’s founding, where early leaders, like the framers of the Constitution, avoided designating an official language to foster inclusion and reflect the nation’s openness to immigrants from all backgrounds. While English has always been the dominant language, various states have adopted English as their official language independently, and movements for an official federal language have surfaced over the years, often in response to waves of immigration. However, these efforts have consistently been met with debates over freedom, inclusion, and cultural identity. Given this history, do you think having an official language would unify the nation, or would it risk marginalizing non-English-speaking communities?

Check out our 2024 Annual Report to learn how we approach our mission to examine disparities and dismantle the systemic racism that drives them so we can all thrive together.

Trump’s Project 2025 is a direct threat to the values we hold in St. Louis and across the nation. Proposals like turning local law enforcement into deportation agents, reintroducing harmful stop-and-frisk policies, and tying federal funding to these divisive measures are steps backward for our communities. As mayor, I will ensure St. Louis stands firm against these harmful agendas. We must protect our city’s commitment to fairness, equity, and justice for all, rejecting any policies that aim to divide us. Let’s move St. Louis forward, together. #MikeForMayor #StandForSTL
