Florida’s teachers rally in the thousands, walking up Capitol Hill in 100% humidity in pursuit for better funding for our schools. Rally clips of Florida Education Association President Frederick Ingram and Rev. Al Sharpton. Ali Sullivan & Union Rep. Angeleen Harry, elementary teachers of Leon County, join me for a conversation dissecting what has driven our teachers to the point to march en masse.

Celeste De Palma, Director of Everglades Policy at the Florida Audubon Society, joins us to discuss our River of Grass, aka the Everglades. We discuss what to expect from the record funding recently secured for Everglades restoration. Also on my mind in this episode are the invasive species. Have you heard of the Python Bowl? Any of our listeners find an Argentine tegu in their yard yet? Let us know!

Thanks for checking us out! This episode is a pure introduction of the program meant to illustrate the kind of personality I have while giving a brief summary of what to expect from TFP this season!
