HOW TO GET INVOLVED
#noICEinBPS CAMPAIGN
In January 2020, news broke that over 130 reports from Boston Public Schools ended up with Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE). We are working with the Student Immigrant Movement to ensure that Boston Public Schools students are protected from information-sharing that jeopardizes their futures. Sign the petition and learn more about upcoming actions here.

UNAFRAID EDUCATORS RELIEF FUND FOR BOSTON STUDENTS AND FAMILIES
The Unafraid Educators Relief Fund is raising money to support Boston Public Schools families during the COVID-19 crisis. The fund is available to all families with children in the Boston Public Schools, regardless of immigration status or eligibility for other benefits.
More information here.
DONATE TO THE UNAFRAID SCHOLARSHIP
The Unafraid Scholarship was founded by the BTU’s Unafraid Educators in order to provide financial support for students who are not eligible to receive financial aid from the federal government due to their immigration status. It is a one-time grant made payable to the college. Students are able to reapply for the scholarship every year. The amount of the scholarship will depend on the particular financial need of the student, the number of qualified applicants, and the funds raised in a given year.
