Freedom Coalition for Charter Schools
FCCS is a non-partisan organization that advocates for equitable access to quality public school options for Black and Brown communities as the key driver of economic empowerment and educational advancement.
Attention Lawmakers!
FCCS conducted a July 2024 poll that shows Black and Latino swing state voters sounding the alarm. Help us amplify the voices of voters and parents of color.
91% of voters say parents deserve the right to choose the public school that best meets their child’s individual needs.
Fight To Choose
Parents of color have spoken: a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for our children. Black and Brown-led charter schools are increasing quality public school options, especially for Black and Brown students. Ask your legislator to support the expansion of diverse public schools led by people of color!
