Podcast hosted by Karma R. Chávez

Julio Salgado is the co-founder of DreamersAdrift and Senior Program Manager at The Center for Cultural Power. His status as an undocumented, queer immigrant has fueled the contents of his visual art, which depict key individuals and moments of the DREAM Act and the migrant rights movement. Undocumented students, organizers and allies across the country have used Salgado’s artwork to call attention to the migrant rights movement. Salgado is the co-creator of The Disruptors Fellowship, a program for emerging television writers of color who identify as either trans/and or non-binary, disabled, or undocumented/formerly undocumented immigrants. His work has been displayed at the Oakland Museum, San Francisco Museum Of Modern Art, and The Smithsonian.
