Last year, just one week before the municipal election where he ran for city council, Sergio was arrested and charged with inciting hate online. The charges were ultimately dropped and Sergio is now facing serious legal fees and needs support to help cover the costs.

The legal process is expensive and every contribution, no matter the size, helps ease that burden.

You can view Sergio's interview with The Rover regarding the situation here:

Any additional funds raised will be donated to the local trans-advocacy group, ASTTeQ. You can read about their work here:
