Immigrant Safety, Community Trust, and Queer Liberation with Eliazar Posada #42

Co-hosts Daniel WK Lee and Kata d’Adamo sit down with Eliazar Posada to talk about what community protection looks like when national politics turn hostile. Eliazar breaks down practical local strategies—non-discrimination ordinances, language access plans, and building trust so people feel safe seeking help. He also reflects on the emotional weight and responsibility of being a “first,” and his commitment to making sure he’s not the last by supporting other queer Latino candidates. At Equality North Carolina, he describes the shift into LGBTQ+ work as an expansion of intersectional movement-building, not a departure from immigrant rights. A rapid-fire round brings levity, then the hosts share ways to stay connected and support the mission.
