Rae Garringer and Dao X. Tran speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025.
Join author Rae Garringer and editor Dao X. Tran for a conversation about lessons learned through the twelve-year journey of the Country Queers oral history project and podcast, culminating in the book Country Queers: A Love Letter (Haymarket, 2024). We’ll talk about community-based oral history work, queer and trans resilience and resistance in rural communities, and the lessons that rural Appalachian and southern country queers have to teach us all about taking care of one another across political difference, in the end times of fascism and climate catastrophe.
The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, September 4-7, 2026. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.

We are an emerging cadre formation of social movement leftists, growing out of the LeftRoots process. Too often internationalism is an obligatory footnote to local and electoral struggles--but for us, anti-imperialism is essential to our daily and long-term work to win ecofeminist socialism, from our communities to the world.

Chanelle Gallant, Elene Lam, Emi Koyama, and Yves Tong Nguyen speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025.
Travel bans, ICE abductions and deportations of green card holders are nothing new for migrants in the sex industry. But their lives and struggles also offer us a blueprint for resisting surveillance, criminalization and the “good immigrant” vs “bad immigrant” division. Instead they inspire us to transform fear and uncertainty into creativity, power, empathy and noncompliance.
