Callie sits down with Councilwoman Ixya Vega! In addition to being a member of the Morgantown, WV City Council and on the board of Holler Health Justice, Ixya is West Virginia's only full time Planned Parenthood organizer, and Callie talks with her about organizing in Appalachia, doing so as a woman of color, and much more!
In our weekly list, we discuss some Appalachian heavy hitters in the outdoors and conservation game then take you through some of the worst parts of the McCarthy budget and how Appalachia will be harmed for our under-the-radar segment (its way more interesting than it sounds, promise!)
