In cities across America, people are constantly turned away from homeless shelters because of their sexual orientation and gender identification. Hear Ruby Jade Corado’s story of survival and triumph in opening a home for people facing inequality and homelessness in the nation’s capital.
Ruby Jade Corado is a social justice advocate who has fought for 20 years for LGBT human rights, transgender liberation, immigration equality, access to healthcare, and many other issues. After fleeing her home country of El Salvador amidst a civil war at 16 years old, she moved to Washington, D.C. where she has lived for 27 years. Her work has earned her awards ranging from a 2005 Capital Pride Heroes award, a 2013 Gays and Lesbians Opposing Violence award, among others. She was named one of the 25 Most Influential Latino LGBT activists by Latino Voice in 2009 and has been featured by news outlets like the Washington Post, NPR, News Week, and more. In addition to her service work, Ruby is a bilingual inspirational speaker and a nationally recognized sensitivity trainer.
