Marcos Martinez has spent several decades working to raise the voices of immigrants and other marginalized groups. After a 20-year stint as a radio journalist at an NPR affiliate in New Mexico, Martinez made a home in Seattle, where he served as the director for Entre Hermanos, a nonprofit advocating for LGBTQ+ Latinx people. Today he serves as the executive director at Casa Latina, a gathering space for Latinx Seattleites to find community and professional and educational support.
With a Trump presidency looming, Martinez says his organization is mobilizing and organizing to “provide protection and prepare for whatever attacks, assaults, or insults are hurled at us.” The one thing he refuses to do is sit idly by.
