Friend,

Schools should be safe spaces for students. But under the Trump administration, that's not the case. Within his first 24 hours in office, Donald Trump revoked a policy that protected certain areas, including schools, from immigration enforcement. This is one of many cruel executive orders targeting immigrants, designed to make us feel unsafe even in spaces that are at the core of a civil society.

During this time of uncertainty, it’s critical for our communities to have the information and resources necessary to protect each other. That’s why we’re asking you to send an email to your public school district, urging them to take these five steps to keep schools safe for all students:

Establish a clear protocol for responding to law enforcement at school. Train all staff to ensure they understand and follow the policy.

Define and mark private school areas (e.g. anything past the visitors’ side of a school’s front desk) to protect students’ Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizures.

Require all guests, including law enforcement, to pass through an administrative office. Officers must present a valid judicial warrant or subpoena for review before entering the school.

Limit the information that is collected from students and their families. Avoid collecting information about immigration status and birthplace.

Provide Know Your Rights materials, posters, and trainings to educate immigrant students and families on their rights.

When students feel safe and supported, they can truly learn, develop, and grow. By making sure we all have the resources to support and protect each other, we can build stronger, safer communities. That’s why we’re asking:

Will you commit to sending an email to your public school district to ensure they make your schools a safe place for immigrant students? ([link removed])
