My Body. My Pod. is back for our second episode, taped in the midst of the government shutdown with U.S. Senator Ruben Gallego.
💬 “Most voters are very nuanced… I’m not afraid to have discussions with voters whether Democrat, Republican, or Independent, even though we’re going to have disagreements.”
Join Mini for a conversation with Sen. Ruben Gallego who grew up with a single mom and three sisters in Arizona—and brings that experience to his steadfast fight for reproductive freedom and access to health care. In this episode, we cover:
🚨What’s at stake in the government shutdown
✊ Why protecting affordable care is part of reproductive freedom
🗳️How Sen. Gallego’s upbringing in a working-class Latino family informs his beliefs about health care
🤝And how connection—yes, even across party lines—can coexist with conviction.
