This episode features Steph and Lance: one conservative, one liberal, both neighbors, both school board members. With the support of Urban Rural Action, they chose relationship over partisanship. Listening over labeling. Curiosity over contempt.
And the result? A school board that works. For the kids. For the community. For all of us. This is what it looks like to citizen:
Listen deeply. Speak honestly. Resist the pull to polarize. Build something different—together
