Many of us feel helpless about the grave situation in Colombia, especially those of us who live thousands of miles away in Europe. However, we feel that we cannot sit cross-armed because there are several ways to help directly. One of these is to donate to the frontline via Red Condor Collective’s GoFundMe .(we fund medical brigades, legal and human rights defence, and soup kitchens)

There is a range of things you can do to tangibly support strikers in Colombia who have been historically overlooked by the state and the larger population. Mutual aid and fund redistribution is one of such things.

Red Comunitaria Trans: is an organization that has been safeguarding the colombian trans community for almost a decade. Currently they are being evicted from their home in Bogota and are fundraising to keep their home

"To be Latin American is for me the realisation that I am part of a diverse group of people who come from different countries but who share an emotional and cultural connection. We all know what it is to be far from home and we all know how much the barrio and the family mean; You know, Similarities that transcend over the many differences...It is to feel supported and protected by that collective "

Some words of our first guest.
Tomorrow you will find out who who she is.

22/10/2020

“Ser latinoamericana para mi es saberse parte de un grupo de gente que viene de muchos países pero que tenemos una conexión cultural, pero también emotiva, de sabernos lejos de casa, pero de saber lo que significa el barrio, la familia, sabes, similitudes que trascienden un poco las muchas diferencias… y es acá sentirte acompañado y protegido por esa colectividad”

Estas son unas palabras de nuestra primera invitada.

Mañana la conoceras...
