Debbie is joined by her friend and fellow advocate, Chris Therrien, for a heartfelt conversation about SUNS—Standing Up for Natick Students. Chris explains how the group got started and its mission to push back against misinformation from local parental rights groups while promoting inclusion and equity in schools. They dive into the importance of representation in school curricula (and why "opting out" misses the point), the uphill battle of confronting resistance, and the emotional toll advocacy can take. Through personal stories, candid reflections, and a few laughs, this episode highlights the power of community, the importance of staying informed, and the ongoing fight for fairness and representation in education.
