    Apathy is not an option. If you "feel worn out by the news these days," you're not alone: nearly 7 in 10 Americans do. It is still your job to care.

    Minister fought this child in court. She paid lawyers $100k to battle emergency dental care when she knew her department rates of denial were at 99%. We shouldn't have to fight case by case for justice for Indigenous health for kids.

    This is not a win for anyone! is broken, full of bureaucrats who would rather argue with health providers and First Nations ppl. If there is one thing pls take a stand
