Abstract: This article reports efforts to mobilize and democratize research-informed knowledge and resources for plurilingual education through the Plurilingual Lab, a research laboratory based in Canada. Situated in the highly multilingual city of Montreal, Quebec, the Lab showcases findings from research on plurilingual education and fosters collaborative knowledge mobilization among researchers and educators. Grounded in principles of equity, diversity, inclusion, and decoloniality (EDID), the Plurilingual Lab's initiatives seek to advance and inform both plurilingual research and pedagogical practices. Moreover, by making resources openly accessible, the Lab helps democratize knowledge production and dissemination, extending its reach to communities that might otherwise lack access to such scholarship. This article concludes by calling scholars across applied linguistics to undertake similar initiatives, advancing efforts to positively impact social change and promote greater equity for linguistically marginalized communities, thereby contributing to a more just and inclusive linguistic landscape--and ultimately giving all languages the attention they deserve.
