Description

Good news happens. This week’s episode features a conversation with two members of local Indigenous organization that will host a Seattle Public School Board Candidate Forum on October 4 at North Seattle College.

We chatted with Lisa Rivera, Board Director of Urban Native Education Alliance and a former Seattle School Board director, and Kamryn Yanchick, Political Navigator at Native Action Network, about hosting the candidate forum and about education issues in local Indigenous communities.

We’ll also discuss an upcoming Happy Hour and Hellos event and a local volunteer opportunity.

Thanks for tuning in.
