## Resource

Kristin Brey and guest co-host Todd Allbaugh discuss the state of Wisconsin politics, frustrations with both parties, and what the crowded governor’s race says about the future of political leadership. Later, City Forward Collective’s Colleston Morgan joins to discuss literacy instruction and education reform, while University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Kevin O’Connor previews the World Cup and why it matters in the U.S. The show wraps with a conversation on community-building through the nationwide Declarations of Interdependence Relay.
