Civil Rights Project/Proyecto Derechos Civiles at UCLA

The Civil Rights Project is excited to share a special opportunity during Bruin Giving Day happening now (April 28-29).

Thanks to our Civil Rights Project Bruin Giving Day Challenge, made possible by the generosity of Co-Directors Patricia Gándara and Gary Orfield, 15 gifts of ANY amount, made to the Civil Rights Project fund, will unlock an additional $5,000 to sustain our work. This means your support goes even further in helping advance civil rights research and action.

If you have been considering making a gift, this is a meaningful moment to make an even greater impact.

THANK YOU for standing with us in strengthening the link between ideas and real-world change.

Their new article, "When Immigration Enforcement Enters the Classroom: Restoring Safety, Connection, and Hope," is the first entry of 2026 in the Voices in Education blog from Harvard Education Press
