In this episode, hosts Michelle and Ellie engage with Dietz and DeKeitra Griffin, advocates fighting against the criminalization of HIV in Louisiana. They discuss the implications of House Bill 76, personal experiences with stigma, and the importance of education and advocacy in addressing HIV-related issues. They also explore alternatives to criminalization, emphasizing public health approaches and the necessity of addressing the root causes of health disparities. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the limitations of the current justice system in addressing violence and sexual violence, emphasizing the need for better solutions beyond retribution.
Then they recap what happened with the coerced abortion bill. Spoiler - this episode isn’t all just sh*t news!
