$1500 for tuition for a 17-year-old boy whose mother is an immigrants’ rights activist. Because of her organizing, her asylum case was delayed for 12 years; this caused her family great financial stress and led them to spend years unhoused.
$1500 for educational expenses for a 16-year-old girl whose father was detained and deported in an apparent act of retaliation for his years of leadership within the immigrants’ rights movement.
$4000 for school tuition for two kids, ages 11 and 15, whose mother was fired for advocating for the needs of her students.
$2000 for tutoring for the 10-year-old daughter of an Amazon employee who spoke out against the company’s mistreatment of workers. She was followed on multiple occasions in suspected targeting for her activism, making her feel unsafe in her home and forcing her to relocate.
$1500 for school tuition for the nine-year-old daughter whose mother was fired for organizing a union at her Starbucks.
$10,450 for a wide range of programs and one CIF award for nine children, ages five to 20, from three families in pacifist communities. Their parents have engaged in peaceful anti-war protests and many have been imprisoned for civil disobedience.
$3500 for a group grant for occupational therapy and enrichment activities for kids whose activist parents survived torture in their home countries. The program serves 13 children, ages 10 to 21, from five families.
$2000 for educational support for the 17-year-old daughter whose father, a member of a peace and international solidarity group, had his home raided and was threatened with arrest but refuses to testify before a grand jury investigating anti-war activists.
$1500 for sports expenses for the 16-year-old son whose father has been arrested over 100 times for his direct actions related to peace and social justice. He has two felony convictions for actions he took more than 20 years ago, which have kept him from being able to legally adopt his son.
