We need more stories and the heart

The right traction

The vocal are minority extremes of politics (Social media)

How do we get the right messenger (moderates) to tell the stories to make it louder than the social media keyboard warriors

Teacher retention as a result of community school - "I want to be in a school where I have a team to take care of my student and family needs, and I don't need to worry about anything else outside of actually teaching."

We talked about basic needs and all it's intersectionality.

Affordable housing is not built with the social determinants in mind so it doesn't help with access

Public transportation is a barrier

Language barrier and communication issues affect the basic needs. Translation is a big need not just a Google translate document.

Arizona is fragmented so basic needs access varies and values of the community varies so decision.

Lots of grandparents so even technology literacy is a BASIC needs but it's not recognized.

Educators are being asked to stay in their lane by government but they don't understand what the lane is.

Stories of individuals need to get louder

We cannot talk about education reform until we have addressed basic needs.
