Building a movement one step at a time
The kids from Orlando Day Nursery join Bud on his walk.
From Sunday’s Orlando Sentinel, reporter Kate Santich caught up with Bud as we walked in Orlando on Thursday last week and wrote up some of her interview. On Friday, Bud walked a few miles on the road from Lake Alfred to Winter Haven, chatting a little with The Lakeland Ledger while he was in Polk County, then headed over to the WEDU studios to tape an episode of “Florida This Week” with Rob Lorei.
We appreciate the good discussion of Florida’s indicators, because public awareness is the first step to inspiring action to change things.
“We are 50 out of 50 states in our per-capita funding for education. We are second-worst [nationally] in the percentage of uninsured children,” Bud said in his interview. “And in any other indicator of well-being you want to look at, we're close to the bottom. … The only way you can fight what has been happening is by collective citizen action. And once people start coming together, you won't be able to stop them.”
