Dear Friends and Supporters of BATs!

 First thank you so much for always giving and supporting this organization. Bottom line is – WE WORK FOR YOU! BATs does not take money from wealthy foundations!

3.  Sponsor four scholarships to NPE for BATs going to NPE this year
4.  File an Amicus Brief to the Supreme Court in Friedrichs vs. CTA
5.  Purchase a partner subscription to Action Network
6.  Pay for our P.O. Box and mailing supplies
7.  Order BAT Buttons, shirts, and Bracelets to distribute
8.  Maintain our website
9.  Pay our share of the DC event this summer
10.  Sponsor Pro Public Education radio programming and publications
11.  Donate to various causes around the country like supporting Chicago in pursuing an elected school board, Dream Yard Project, Philadelphia Students Union, and Flint Water Crisis.
12.  Boost for advertising on Facebook that is pro public education and pro teacher
13.  Pay our taxes, legal,  and accounting fees

So, we are hoping that you can, for our spring into summer campaign, give what you can. This will be our last fundraising cycle until our Fall drive in six months. We hope to use your kind donations to fund us through the summer. We are looking for monthly recurring donors (give what you can monthly - $10, $15, $20 or more) or we also will take a single donation. 

 For this fundraising cycle we will be offering our monthly recurring donors of $10 or more their name on our march and parade banner (current monthly donors we will place your name on the banner) and our protest posters at the DC Rally/March this summer!
