![pink flyer with a lot of text, ending with the link to the program that is in the main post.
the text reads: apply to the elevating the voices of educators of newcomers (even) fellowship. with the federal government pushing an overtly harmful anti-immigrant agenda, much of the recent public discourse about immigrants has been negative -- and false. but teachers have the power to change the narrative.
about the EVEN fellowship: The national newcomer network is launching the Elevating Voices of Educators of Newcomers Fellowship, a new paid fellowship for teachers who work directly with newcomers, children of immigrants, and/or English learners -- and who want to tell the world about the many ways these children make our schools and communities better.
What EVEN Fellows will do:
Even fellows will join a community of teachers determined to improve public discourse about immigrant students. Together they will participate in a series of monthly trainings; write, edit, and publish a narrative highlighting their experiences working with immigrant communities; engage with journalists and reporters to uplift these critical narratives to broader audiences in local and national media.
Fellowship logistics:
Program dates: February 2 to June 26 2026
Expected commitment: Attend 1 monthly meeting with ongoing 1-on-1 support from NNN staff and experts
Stipend: $1500
Questions? [there is an email that i literally cannot read!]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:efucivu2qdyrrnwlbv6qlyps/bafkreied4qzej2xfudzbgzgnyr4hoh2gv3t7ntztdvok4p6w3t4e5s5da4@jpeg)

If someone hasn’t already made this, with holiday gatherings approaching it could be useful having a website with graphs, cited blurbs to illustrate HOW government institutions have changed and become underfunded, how it will affect NOT ‘just those people’ but ALL of us. Too many don’t grasp it.
