Ep. 03: Abortion in our own hands- Molly Dutton-Kenny
In this episode we chat with Molly Dutton-Kenny a licensed midwife, advocate, and educator promoting a full scope and spectrum of midwifery practice to support holistic, comprehensive reproductive care in the traditional scope of the community midwife.
She is a wealth of knowledge and we discuss, midwives, that state of abortion access and why home care is should continue to be an option.

Spotlight: Brittiny Raine from CORE and Serving Youth on the Street
Co-director Brittiny Riane from Community Outreach through Radical Empowerment (CORE) talks with me about the additional hurdles youth on the street face to accessing services, housing and other support structures, why young folk end up on the street and about her own experience as a young person on the Ave in Seattle.
Brittiny is a down to earth badass that has shown myself and BTSA a shit-ton of solidarity since our formation, we owe her a lot. Show CORE some love by checking out their website and tossing them a few coins.
