For 30 years, Community Organizing and Family Issues (COFI) has proven that when Black and Brown parents, especially mothers and grandmothers, have real power and support, they are able to turn their dreams into action! <\/span><\/p>\n

Our theme captures COFI\u2019s core belief: When parents come together, their collective power transforms their dreams into reality to make our communities, our state, and our nation a better place for all.<\/span><\/p>\n

From personal triumphs to major policy victories, COFI\u2019s parent-led organizing model, The COFI Way<\/span><\/em><\/a>, has trained thousands of parents and helped transform communities and entire systems. Our 30th Anniversary celebrates three decades of parent power and the next generation of change we\u2019re building together, and we hope you join us!<\/p>\n

Parent-led action is powered by the generosity of donors and sponsors who believe real community voices deserve a seat at policy tables. Together, we envision a world where racial, economic, and educational justice prevail, and all children and families have an equal opportunity to succeed in life.

We’ve heard incredible stories about the impact of COFI and our training on individuals, families, communities, and policies and systems.
