Julio Salgado, the 28-year-old undocu-queer artist and DREAM Act movement leader, appeared on the front cover of TIME Magazine last week with other fellow undocumented immigrants. Mexican-born Salgado channels his doubly “outed” identity as both gay and undocumented into art that is redefining the immigrant experience. We’re ecstatic that Salgado’s activism is getting mass media exposure. But we also encourage you to learn more at our sister publication CultureStrike—with which Salgado himself is involved. Here’s a roundup of Salgado and DREAM Act-related news from CultureStrike and elsewhere. Get informed and strike up a conversation with Salgado tonight at the Asian American Writers’ Workshop’s launch party, which he’ll be attending.
