Empowered Parents in Community

Our Mission:

To dismantle systemic racial inequities through collective organizing and intentional engagement of African American parents and communities. To advocate for high quality educational opportunities and equitable distribution of resources.

We operate with the following beliefs:

Parents have a critical role to play in both supporting schools and holding them accountable.

When parents have an understanding of racial equity in education and teachers feel supported in creating a welcoming climate and culture, then we can build bridges of collaboration for the success of all students, particularly those who have been marginalized.

Parents who have the desire, time and resources commit to “stand in the gap” for those who do not, without judgment.

As we engage parents and partners within the community and bring our wisdom and resources together, we can make steps towards the elimination of inequities in school and close the opportunity gaps.
