In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Cassandra Begay, Founder/CEO at Defend the Sacred Consulting, to talk about why the legacy of settler-colonialism means Coronavirus is hitting Native communities especially hard, how anti-indigenous actions by Donald Trump from the very beginning of his presidency mean the lack of help from the federal government comes as no surprise, and how the over $700,000 raised by her and her colleagues for the Navajo and Hopi Families COVID-19 Relief Fund is helping communities take their destinies into their own hands.
