Oakland’s Freedom Community Clinic, New Documentary Spotlights LGBTQ Activist Sally Gearhart

On this week's show, we visit the Freedom Community Clinic which provides free herbal remedies, massage services and healing workshops at their two apothecaries in Oakland. And just outside the city, they recently launched the Ancestral Healing Farm, where people of color are encouraged to learn about ancestral practices and reconnect with the land. The goal of founder Dr. Bernie Lim is to reach people who might mistrust the mainstream medical system because of racism or cultural incompetency. KQED Arts & Culture Editor Nastia Voynovskaya brings us this profile. Plus a new documentary profiles Sally Gearhart, a radical lesbian feminist whose fight for equality and change sparked movements that still continue today. But unlike her friend and contemporary, Harvey Milk, there are no airport terminals or schools named after her. Instead, she has been largely erased from history. Deborah Craig, a filmmaker and professor at San Francisco State University, wanted to change that. Craig spoke about her film, Sally!, with The California Report Magazine’s Bianca Taylor.
