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