Families in Action for Quality Education (FIA Oakland) was founded in 2019 to bring attention to the education disparities and to urgently increase access to quality schools and equitable resources by: Building the leadership capacity of parents, youth, educators, school leaders and board members as champions for their schools and for quality schools for all Oakland students, especially those who have been historically underserved Reclaiming the narrative about public education through ensuring that parent and youth voices, stories and experiences are heard in driving citywide policy and practice decisions Building coalitions and a city-wide movement for quality schools
