In this episode we have very special guest Dr. Teale Phelps Bondaroff joining us to discuss the importance and benefits of provinces providing free birth control to all Canadians. His experience in policy writing at all government levels has lead the charge on AccessBC holding the NDP government accountable to fulfilling their promise of providing free contraction to all BC residents.. In this episode listeners will be inspired to take action to have universal coverage across Canada. Teale has a PhD in politics and international studies from the University of Cambridge, and two BAs from the University of Calgary (political science and international relations).  Although we are focusing on Canada's organizations we hope this episode will inspire you to research how you can support reproductive and human rights in your country.  Resources All About Teale AccessBC Dr. Ruth's Talk on Reproductive Justice & No-Cost Contraception MyPostCare.ca Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada National Abortion Federation Canada NAF Hotline - 1-800-772-9100 Action Canada for Sexual Health & Rights Action Hotline (Call) - 1-888-642-2725 Action Hotline (Text) - 1-613-800-6757 Choice Connect Abortion Referral Women Help Women (Abortion Pill & Contraceptives) Women on Web Tia Health (Online Doctor Appointments) Check out Joyce Arthur's Publications Viewer Discretion Legislation Coalition (London, ON) Norma Scarborough Fund SisterSong Cover ContraceptiON Birth Control Access for Manitoba Sex [M]ed Our Commons Open Parliament Planned Parenthood - Toronto DO NOT GOOGLE ABORTION CLINICS & AVOID CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTRES Listen in now!  Want to be a part of the conversation and learn more information? teawithlaurarachele@gmail.com  What we're drinking: Rachele - Bengal Spice | Laura - Coffee | Dr. Teale - Matcha & Lapsang Souchong Tea Disclaimer: All views expressed on the show are based on personal opinions and experiences.
