Family Coalition For Change - FCFC

💜

People often confuse giving everyone the same thing with giving everyone what they need to succeed.

Equality provides the same resources, but equity adjusts to the diverse needs of individuals so that the outcome is fair and everyone has a shot.

🚨 Jackson Community — We’re Launching Something Important 🚨

Family Coalition for Change is officially launching the FCFC Community School Concern Report — a confidential space for families, students, educators, and staff to share what is really happening inside our schools.

We are hearing too many stories of:
• Bullying and unsafe environments
• Racism and discrimination
• Retaliation against students and families
• IEP/504 plans not being followed
• Students being ignored, dismissed, or harmed

Our babies deserve better. And silence is not protection.

You can submit your experience anonymously.
No names will be shared publicly without permission.

FCFC will review submissions, look for documentation and patterns, and when concerns can be verified, we will bring them to light—while protecting those who came forward.

This is about truth.
This is about accountability.
This is about protecting our children.

💛 FCFC December Food Drive – Community Care in Action 💛

Last month, Family Coalition for Change (FCFC) was honored to assemble and deliver 50 Hold You Down Community Care Bags to students at Middle School At Parkside, helping ensure access to food over winter break when school meals are unavailable.

Each bag included shelf-stable food items, and we were intentional about making the bags supportive beyond food alone, including items to support students’ emotional well-being during a time that can be especially challenging.

We are deeply grateful to the TRUE Community employees who chose FCFC through the High Five Thanksgiving Drive and trusted us to steward those funds with care. Additional community support also helped make this effort possible. 💛

This is what community looks like, showing up for our students and families, together.

✨ Community Harvest Update — FCFC at Work ✨

This season, Family Coalition For Change set a goal to provide full holiday meals to 10 families in our community.
Because of the incredible support and generosity from our members and supporters, we are proud to share that we surpassed that goal and provided meals to 15 families.

At FCFC, our work is rooted in community care, mutual aid, and showing up for one another in real, tangible ways. Whether it’s food support, education justice, family advocacy, or simply making sure our neighbors feel seen and supported, this is the heart of what we do.

Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, spread the word, or offered encouragement.
Together, we continue to make a difference right here at home. 💛
