Main Campus
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM Diversity Speaker Series: Mateo Presente
Mateo de la Torre (he/him) is a transgender latino and abolitionist from Tijuana, Mexico. His work focuses on issues impacting transgender people of color and those with low-to-no income including sex worker’s rights, policing, and conditions of confinement in prisons and detention centers. Mateo has most recently served as Director of Policy and Advocacy at Black and Pink where he managed the only national coalition on LGBTQ Criminal Justice, and as Racial and Economic Justice Policy Advocate at the National Center for Transgender Equality. Throughout his advocacy he has organized national lobby days, published reports on TGNC interactions with law enforcement, co-drafted the first federal bill focused on the health and safety of sex workers, and headed up Latinx outreach and engagement for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services during the Obama Administration.

Mateo is currently living through the pandemic in his home city of Tijuana where he is raising his cute puppy Charlie.

During this conversation, Mateo will share a brief recounting of his journey from being broke, unstably housed, and starting his transition, to graduating from Chico State, working in the Obama administration, and embarking on the liberatory work of abolition during the Trump years. 

He will focus on sharing how his on-campus advocacy led him to the halls of Congress and the White House in defense of transgender rights; what he’s learned about the LGBTQ advocacy landscape, including why you don’t need to be a lawyer to be an advocate; and, perhaps most importantly, why abolition and transformative justice are foundational to his work. 

He will share common challenges many TGNC BIPOC face in advocacy, strategies that have kept him hopeful while doing movement work as a trans person of color, and the guiding question he consistently revisits - What are you willing to lose for liberation?
