Nonprofit Organization Management - Atlanta, Georgia, United States
FCCS was established in 2019 to bring the voices of Black and Brown charter school leaders, founders, advocates and the families we serve to the forefront. We see the need for our authentic voice to educate our communities and nation to the foundational role that Black and Brown led charters play in our pursuits of equity and self-determination. We know that a community who does not control its education can never be free. FCCS exists to lay claim to our truth and to press on towards an immutable, powerful Black and Brown voice that will be cemented in the minds of all who engage in conversations of educating the public. The tumultuousness of these times within which we find ourselves calls for an independent Black and Brown voice.Created by Dr. Howard Fuller chaired by Dr. Steve Perry, FCCS immediately secured buy-in from over 250 Black and Brown leaders from 21 states, that collectively serve more than 1 million Black and Brown families. This validated the need for the establishment of an effective and acutely organized vehicle that speaks truth to power from our perspective. FCCS is a bold, advocacy group that cut its teeth with a series of direct actions at the 2020 Democratic Presidential Debates in which the group attracted significant media coverage including a front page story in The New York Times. Our galvanizing principle is that we seek to expand access to charter schools to every child who seeks it.
