In this episode, Kunaan interviews Natasha Aġnaŋuluuraq Gamache. Natasha Aġnaŋuluuraq shares her personal story about the struggles in finding adequate medical care for her son in Alaska, gives advice on what everyone can do to make changes, gives advice to others in similar situations, and shares what gives her hope when everything seems to be working against her. Better bring some tissues and be prepared to cry and laugh.

Natasha Aġnaŋuluuraq mentioned Stand Up Alaska and has since created a Facebook group called Alaska Coalition for Equitable Access to Care.

Don't forgt to write emails to Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Sen. Dan Sullivan, and Rep. Don Young. If you click on their names, you should find the phone numbers to their offices where you can ask their staff questions or leave short messages as well. We mentioned Build Back Better as a possible conversation piece.

We also mentioned contacting Gov. Mike Dunleavy, your State Senators, and your State Representatives. We mentioned the Governor's proposed budget and the President's Infrastructure Law as possible points of conversation.

If you need help either figuring out the best way to send anyone who represents you an email, email Kunaan. If you need help figuring out how to find out your rights, email Natasha Aġnaŋuluuraq Gamache.
