Show Notes

My guest, Aaron H. from California, created the Indigenous Justice Coalition to support the many indigenous tribes in our country who have been denied their rights and benefits. Aaron felt a call to action, particularly on behalf of the Waccamaw tribe, which is indigenous to the Bay Area. He learned how to respond to grants, has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in support of this work  and visited Washington to lobby Congress. Aaron is a beautiful example of Dr. King's phrase, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
