Speaker: Leslie Bulbuk, Senior Field Rep. for California Assemblywoman Sally Lieber

 

Leslie has been involved in LGBT political advocacy at the Local, State and Federal levels. Her dedication to increasing LGBT rights grew when she nearly lost her foreign-born partner, Marta Donayre, due to unequal U.S. immigration policy. In 2001, she co-founded Love Sees No Borders, a public education organization focused on obtaining immigration benefits for same-sex binational couples and advocating for elimination of the US HIV ban. Much of her work has been focused on bringing greater understanding of LGBT issues to the immigrant community, and greater understanding of immigrant issues to the LGBT community, in an attempt to increase the scope of the movement toward equal rights for all. She has been a member of the Bay Area Municipal Elections Committee board since 2004, and has been President of the board for nearly two years.
