We’re finishing up our Spooky October Political series with a special guest, Sissi Yado, a queer activist and organizer working hard to empower others across the state of Texas. As we transition topics from Politics to Activism, Sissi is here to offer insight and to share their experiences working across all levels of government, from local to federal, supporting campaigns and protecting the rights of the Queer community. This show was pre-recorded in August, but Sissi’s message could not be more timely.

This year, Sissi served as Organizing Director for the Elizabeth Warren Campaign for President in Texas and is the former state Senior Field Manager for the Human Rights Campaign. They have worked on two Presidential campaigns, three state legislative sessions, and over a dozen local, state, and federal races and projects supporting pro-equality coalitions and candidates.
