Crossing the Chasm with Charolette Gonzales (Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women)

Welcome to Crossing the Chasm. On today’s episode, I am joined by Charolette Gonzales, policy and advocacy director at the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women. Charlotte identifies as a Navajo woman and as a Pueblo woman and has degrees in political science and critical justice studies. On this episode, she talks about violence against indigenous women, what contributes to that violence, what is being done about it and her own experiences that draw her to this work. Thank you so much for tuning-in and I hope you enjoy the conversation!

What is Crossing the Chasm?

Crossing the Chasm explores why we are so disconnected/what does connection mean and how can we become mobilized to create change for ecological and human flourishing. Episodes explore topics related to this theme by diagnosing problems but then put forth alternative visions for our society. The show explores and ultimately intends to overcome the chasm that divides where we are from where we want to go. In short, the podcast seeks to create connection by envisioning a better world.
