Aaron, Kimberly & Nato kick off Pride Month with an interview with KY Teacher of the Year and LGBTQ advocate, Montgomery County\u2019s Willie Carver, Jr. We\u2019ve also got a Campaign Corner check in with gun violence survivor and Moms Demand Action member Deana Mullins - we\u2019ll hear what Moms are working on in the wake of Uvalde, and how YOU can support their work. And of course, we\u2019ll kick off with News of the Weak, and we\u2019ll close with our action and events calendar. #ColonelsOfTruth
