ALIC 2025 THEME "LIFT EVERY VOICE"

“Lift Every Voice” is a very relevant theme chosen by the ALIC Steering Committee for our gathering. Kindly read this page about the theme and sub-themes.

Lift ev’ry voice and sing till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of liberty.

Let our rejoicing rise high as the list’ning skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
