Founder Dr. Bernie Lim emphasizes ancestral connection at their new Ancestral Healing Farm. In another narrative, filmmaker Deborah Craig highlights the overlooked legacy of radical lesbian feminist Sally Gearhart, aiming to restore her significance in history, a contrast to figures like Harvey Milk who have received greater public recognition.
The Freedom Community Clinic aims to bridge the gap for people of color who face systemic mistrust towards mainstream medicine due to historical racism.
