Authentic Activism with Gina Martin

She shares what it's really like to challenge the system, including the emotional toll and the complex politics of working with institutions you oppose. 

In a moment of vulnerability, Gina recounts a life-defining "call-in" from a fellow activist that completely shifted her perspective and practice.
