On Monday, March 22, Families of Color Seattle and The Economic Opportunity Institute* will hold two important virtual focus groups for parents who have had children in the past 15 months (after January 1, 2020) and who have accessed or been denied for the Washington State Paid Family and Medical Leave.
Our objective is to learn about your experiences with Washington Paid Family & Medical leave through an equity lens. Each parent participant will receive $50 as appreciation and compensation for their time. One parent per family only. Space is limited.
Focus group for parents of color:
Black, Latinx, Native, API, Multiracial
Monday, March 22
10:00 - 11:00 am
Affinity focus group:
