New York, NY) June 8, 2018—“I came to this country from Colombia at age 14. As a queer/trans person, I didn't feel safe there. I was able to obtain a legal status in this country thanks to the hard work of lawyers that were sensitive around my transness and my history.” These remarks were delivered by Mateo Guerrero, a Popular Education Coordinator at Make the Road NY, at a rally in New York City’s Foley Square on June 6. He continued to explain, “[There are] many TGNC and non-binary folks in that same situation, and the City of New York should make sure they can access the same services I did.
