Join me for a conversation with the leadership of Indigenous Women Rising, an organization that is committed to honoring Native & Indigenous People’s inherent right to equitable and culturally safe health options through accessible health education, resources and advocacy.  We discuss how the Hyde amendment has essentially already overturned Roe for indigenous communities and the best way to help improve access--let indigenous peoples lead.
