(http://www.radioqueerminded.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/TM9DF5vK-e1437059994235.jpg)
In this special Mo' T segment, we explore how Trans* latinx women are working to make their issues a part of the national conversation, one disruption event at a time.
Jennicet Gutierrez (http://www.washingtonblade.com/2015/06/25/exclusive-i-interrupted-obama-because-we-need-to-be-heard/), Bamby Salcedo (http://www.colorlines.com/articles/read-trans-latina-activist-bamby-salcedo-explores-justice-after-hate-crime) and countless others are working to dismantle the systemic forces of oppression keeping them from living their lives. Issues like immigration, violence against trans* women, lack of legal protections in housing and employment are all factors in the movements that are becoming more and more visible.
QueerMinded talked to these powerful women and discuss this newly-rekindled form of activism that's making people talk.
