Boston Mayor Michelle Wu Giving Tax Dollars Exclusively to Immigrants and Non-Citizens to Train in Political Activism
Boston’s leftist mayor Michelle Wu is under fire for using tax dollars to train immigrants and non-citizens to be political activists.
The program is exclusive, and does not permit American citizens to enroll, which does not even sound legal.
What is the end goal here? To teach recent arrivals to America to protest the country that took them in?

Blue city funds immigrant activist program with taxpayer dollars, critics say it ‘shuts citizens out’
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s administration is offering taxpayer-funded scholarships for an activist program while limiting participation to immigrants, including non-U.S. citizens, a requirement that has drawn criticism online.
The Immigrants Lead Boston program, run by the Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Advancement, is designed for “emerging leaders” interested in advocating for Boston’s immigrant communities. Participants meet city officials and receive training aimed at helping them engage with local government and organize within their communities during the 10-week program.
Critics have seized on both the taxpayer funding and the eligibility requirements, arguing that U.S.-born residents are excluded from a city-backed leadership program whose participants can receive a $575 scholarship.
“That is not charity. That is a political pipeline built to shut citizens out of their own city,” one user wrote on X.
This is outrageous.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has a scholarship program for people to learn to become activists and only illegals and foreigners are allowed to apply. No American-born citizens. How is this legal?? @AAGDhillon https://t.co/soGXsBSJtM pic.twitter.com/kj3go2tvsT
