Episode notes

- Prioritize and amplify local mayors and frontline leaders as the trusted messengers opposing federal overreach.
- Platform City leaders' voices instead of distant national commentators when cities are invaded.

- Train campus leaders and create youth-facing resources so campuses aren't informational vacuums.
