In the author's school district, teachers and parents found a way to change the question. "How can their community support the grassroots leadership development and organizing efforts of low income parents and guardians to close the "opportunity gap"?" Together they learned to roar. In 2007, the author and her colleague created Families with Power/Familias con Poder (FWP), an effort to empower low-income families of color to take action to help their children succeed in school. Although FWP is fairly small--and not planning to get very big--some see it as revolutionary, with its twin goals of grassroots parent empowerment and increasing student achievement.
