What is School Victories? School Victories is a tool for advocates, educators, and groups to plan, share, and inspire advocacy and organizing efforts aimed at improving public schools and creating excellent opportunities to learn for all students.
School Victories is starting a new initiative, Team Up!, in which member groups can help each other on specific advocacy efforts. Groups can help each other by spreading the word about research, policy, and other organizing activities. Click here to learn about specific projects.

In 2008, SEAMAAC led the formation of the Philadelphia Immigrant/Refugee Coalition (PIRC) which includes JUNTOS, the Education Law Center, Pennsylvania Immigrant and Citizenship Coalition (PICC) and the Philadelphia Public School Notebook. PIRC developed an organizing campaign to develop immigrant parent and student leaders throughout schools in the south region of the School District of Philadelphia to improve services for English Language Learners.
