Cristian Solano-Córdova

Cristian Solano-Córdova is the Communications Manager with the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition. He is a former student body president of Metropolitan State University. Previously, he has advocated for undocumented students at the Auraria Campus, and for immigrant communities at the Mental Health Center of Denver. He tells the story of strategizing to protect his eight-year-old sister, who is an American citizen, in the event her mother gets deported. His dad died when he was 14, and his mother works multiple shifts, so he is the father figure for his baby sister.
