What happens when a teacher becomes a civil rights attorney and then decides to run for Congress?

Today we welcome Laura Dunn, a NY-12 congressional candidate whose career has been spent fighting for people both inside the classroom and inside the courtroom. We discuss the state of public education, civil rights, government accountability, economic justice, and why so many Americans feel abandoned by the very institutions meant to serve them.

This isn't a conversation about party politics—it's a conversation about the systems that shape our lives and whether meaningful change is still possible.

If you've ever wondered why trust in government is declining, why our institutions seem increasingly disconnected from everyday Americans, or what real reform might look like, this episode is for you.
