Hands Off. ICE Out. Resistance is Rising!

The impact of ICE presence in our communities and US imperialism globally cannot be overstated. This reality, as always, requires us to respond where we live, to resist and to join in the rising. Davis-Putter grantees are doing just that each and every day. They are organizing in their communities while completing degree programs and simultaneously working to survive.

Since our founding in 1961, the Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund has provided grants to student activists rising in resistance in the face of political repression. Through the decades our grantees have been on the front lines of progressive movements for liberation, self-determination and social and economic justice. They have organized to oppose systemic harm and oppression on campus, in community and behind bars.

We need your help to continue providing this very necessary aid for student organizers, scholars, people’s lawyers and artivists!

Will you join us by making a donation today in support of our 2026/27 class of grantees? Your gift before June 27th will maximize the amount we can award to our next cohort.

Thank you for joining us!
