Lisa Azzarelli is the founder and president of Save Our Schools—not to be mistaken for the Arizona-based, radicalized group with the same name. Her nonprofit exists to help parents and educators navigate corruption in government education. While working for New York City Public Schools, Lisa attended union marches and supported the NEA to the fullest extent—her eyes were opened after Randi Weingarten came into power. Lisa believes student safety and academic success are only possible when K-12 communities push back against state administrative controls.

We’d like to thank Sapling CRM for sponsoring this episode.
Your CRM should not require a therapy session. Sapling CRM was built by a fundraiser who got tired of tools that made the job harder so he built one that actually gets it. AI summaries, voice memos, real receipts, revenue-based pricing. Book a demo and see the difference for yourself.
