Podcast | Future Hindsight w/Mila Atmos

“Reject this doomerism that says that we can't change the institution.”

LM and DT spoke with Mila about how education is our greatest democracy-building endeavor. They discussed rebuilding trust in public education and marshaling the public will to do something great together.

We spent time working through how the democratic act is in the spark of everyday interactions with our community, such as in schools. Families and communities should be an integral part of the way that schools function. We need to practice new ways of making decisions together as a society, and education is a fertile place for this practice.

Doannie reminds us that “If people can change, institutions can change, because they're nothing more than the people within them.”
