Porch Talk - A Peace from the Porch Project

Little Town for Big Connections

We're too disconnected by social media and editorialized news cycles. We simply don't spend enough time connecting in real time. The press of flesh that is a handshake. A shared game of washers or dominoes. The joy of watching our children play together. This episode is about my latest project - Little Town. Put simply, "You Belong Here."

Fleecing Education with Voucher Codes

Voucher Codes are pitched as "school choice," but they don't give tax payers a choice in how property taxes will be used to educate all children. In the simplest form, voucher codes take transparency out of education and act as a tax subsidy for the wealthy since those vouchers are paid for with tax dollars designated to public schools. Join Christy Claxton and Stacy Lieder as they discuss voucher codes, how they're damaging to equitable education and what kinds of tools exist to battle that inequity.
