In this episode we continue our conversation with Kayla, the legislative affairs and community engagement specialist for the Alliance for Quality Education.

In this episode the conversation centers on advocacy for K-12 education funding and the systemic barriers faced by families, especially those affected by homelessness and economic hardship.

Kayla shares her insights on the importance of lived experiences in advocacy, highlighting the need for confidence and self-belief. They discuss the significant challenges related to education and childcare, including the impact of limited access to early education and the struggles of childcare workers. Throughout the episode, there is a strong emphasis on collective action and hope, with calls for listeners to engage in advocacy efforts, share their stories, and support changes in policy that affect their communities. To further support these initiatives, action items encourage listeners to connect with advocacy resources and participate in community-driven campaigns.
