Who Are We?

Abel Murillo
Latino Program Coordinator
(831) 425-5422 x112

Only 22, Abel has been organizing and mobilizing various communities for 6 years.  Driven by a need to create safe, supportive and welcoming spaces that he lacked growing up in a culturally strict environment, Abel works to provide safe and educational spaces for the community. While at UCSC, studying politics and community studies, he left behind an enduring legacy - a much stronger and healthier LGBT student organization as well as a student body more engaged to the needs of its LGBT peers.  He has been instrumental in recent developments in the LGBT Latino community in Santa Cruz County: Watsonville Pride, the LGBT Latino Retreat, the creation of the first LGBT Latino Task Force and the first linguistically accessible Transgender Day of Remembrance in Watsonville
