Families of Color Seattle (FOCS) received the 2016 Ron Chisom Anti-Racism Award by Seattle Human Services Coalition. King County Councilmember Larry Gossett presented FOCS with a plaque at Seattle City Hall on June 1.

Martha Reyes of the ACLU of Washington said, “FOCS fills a very significant gap for people of color, particularly in early education and parenting communities that allows families to explore racism and build community in a positive way.”

FOCS incorporates art, play, music, food, and community building in their programming, and parent groups and community dialogue series to engage parents, educators, and the broader community in anti-racist work.
