Hosts Benjamin Rangel and Kacee Ochalek seek out ways to remain active and civically engaged during a time of quarantine, self-isolation, and social distancing. We speak with Angela Harris, a Milwaukee Public School teacher and creator of a local mutual aid network, Angela Lang, Executive Director of Black Leaders Organizing for Communities (BLOC), and Megan O\\u2019Halloran, Milwaukee Public School Board Director for District 8. We discuss how residents can support one another during this crisis, how to remain civically engaged, and ways Milwaukee has remained resilient despite difficult times.
