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.
