Lost Lifelines: Advocating When Access Disappears (S2, E9)

There is a lot happening in DC right now, and if you’re a teacher trying to make sense of the noise, this episode is for you. Rebeca and Jenn are joined by returning guest Blair Wriston from Ed Trust for a frank, grounded conversation about the federal actions reshaping education as we know it and what they actually mean for students, educators, and schools.

From interagency agreements quietly hollowing out the Department of Education, to Title I and special education funding uncertainty, to the heartbreaking real-world effects of immigration enforcement in and around schools, Blair and the hosts don’t shy away from the hard stuff. But they also don’t leave you without hope.

This last episode of the season is the episode for educators who are anxious, confused, or exhausted by the headlines and want straight answers from people who are deep in the work every single day.
