Joy and Identity in Every CommunityHow affinity groups help serve individuals and unite us all GUEST BIO:Jose Ramos is the founder of Impulse Group, as well as the AHF's National Director of Sales.Queen Victoria Ortega is International president of Flux and Chief Visionary Officer at the Connie Norman Transgender Empowerment Center, as well as a volunteer with AHF.Edwin Elan is National President of Loud, Latino Outreach and Understanding DivisionChela Demuir is Vice President of Flux, an organization that aims to raise the profile of the trans and gender-nonconforming community.CORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[2:07] - About Affinity GroupsAn essential role and partnershipAffinity groups are groups that are specific to an individual demographic within the community served by AHF, designed to take more focused advantage of AHF's resources. It's about taking a group of people and determining their unique needs and how AHF can serve them and help them most effectively.[8:27] - More than a DiseaseWhy sexual health and education are so vitalOne of the issues relating to sexual health in communities is pathologizing, or the consideration (and ‘treatment') of trans communities based only on a mindset of disease and sickness. But this misses the larger context when breaking down the numbers around economic health and other factors in the trans community. Affinity groups and AHF resources work together to generate economic empowerment and community health.[10:28] - Health & Education in the Latino CommunityOvercoming misconceptions and miseducationIn the community of Latinos and gay men as a whole, misconceptions and miseducation abound. It's important that it's well known that antivirals are very effective, and there are preventative methods available. New diagnoses can be preventable if people are educated and empowered.[15:00] - A Narrative of JoyChanging the perspective on black trans peopleCoverage of the black trans community is often bleak, pessimistic, and focused on suffering. But Flux helped change the narrative with a photo series and program called Black Trans Joy, showing the joy, highlights, achievements, and journey of the community and proving that it's not all trauma. It's been a powerful tool for breaking down barriers and helping black trans people become seen and heard in their fullness of experience.RESOURCES:[1:21] About Impulse Group[1:27] About Flux[1:27] About Connie Norman Transgender Empowerment Center[1:41] About the Latino Outreach and Understanding DivisionFOLLOW:Follow Lauren Hogan: LinkedInFollow AHFter Hours: InstagramABOUT AFTER HOURS:The AIDS Healthcare Foundation is the world's largest HIV/AIDS service organization, operating in 45 countries globally.

Nearly two months after Leslie Furcron was shot in the forehead by a bean bag round during a protest in front of the La Mesa Police Department Headquarters, the department has released video of the incident and the name of the officer who shot her. Plus, with the scrutiny on police funding in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd, KPBS investigative team found that the San Diego Police Department routinely goes over its overtime budget. Also, the Chicano Federation said the county’s outreach effort to the Latino community, which is hardest hit by the pandemic locally, lacks urgency. And, Gina Champion-Cain, a prominent San Diego businesswoman, faces upto 15 years in prison for cheating her investors out of $400 million in a Ponzi scheme.

Welcome Belén Sisa, immigration activist, Bernie 2016 campaign alum, and member of the #Dream7 to the Immigration MIC podcast! Belen was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina - her family moved to the US right before the collapse of the Argentinean economy in 2001 to Arizona during the construction boom years. Because she and her family were “white passing”, they fit in in their middle class white neighborhood and were able to keep their undocumented status hidden. She talks about how later on, her family buying a house in a different neighborhood near a detention center, and living in a conservative community exposed those differences. She talks about living a double life - being the Homecoming Queen, a varsity cheerleader, and a bright student, while living in fear in the years of SB1070, her family nearly ending up homeless and how graduation felt like the end of her escape from those harsh realities. She talks about her experiences in becoming involved and empowered in immigration activist with the Arizona Dream Act Coalition, and how her involvement led to longtime close friends separating themselves from her, but finding community in “belonging to her people”. Her decision to be a part of the Dream 7 jail strike, and in depth describes the “traumatizing” experience, which involved cold temperatures, police brutality, inhumane conditions, and the faith they placed in everyone fighting for a Clean Dream Act, the psychological effects of the experience, and the inspiration that followed. Her experience working with the Bernie Sanders 2016 campaign, a “life changing experience, working as a field organizer in Nevada, Arizona, Rhode Island, California, and later on becoming part of the Latino Outreach team. She talks about the skills and networks she gained, and the opportunity to be a page at the DNC as an undocumented woman. We talk about the outcome of election night, her reaction, and how it led to her viral moment, taking a picture with her tax returns and tagging the president in it, because she wanted the real story to be told, which led to 1000’s of shares, a lot of hate mail, threats, but overall, the support she received, the national conversation it sparked, and how she became even more “unafraid”. We end talking about the “unusual” political moment, her message of unity coming out of the 2016 elections, how she’s seeing the 2020 elections take shape, and the importance of mobilizing to win back the White House. “Do the right thing and don’t be afraid to speak up”, — words of encouragement from Belen talking about her moments of personal growth, and how personal stories can move us forward, and her hopes that she can inspire others to have an impact.
