Episode Summary:

I am honored to welcome our guest Erik Bottcher,  a dedicated public servant and activist who has devoted his life to progressive causes and to the betterment of the community he loves.

Now, he is running to represent our community on the New York City Council.

Erik believes that if we come together and rise to this moment, New York City’s best days are still ahead.

Growing up in a small town in the Adirondack Mountains as the only gay person he knew, Erik’s personal struggles with depression sparked in him a lifelong dedication to helping the most marginalized members of our society. His journey from a childhood in a remote area to a life of activism in New York City was profiled in a 2015 feature story cover story in the Adirondack Daily Enterprise titled “Erik Bottcher’s Fight for Equality.”

Erik's career in public service began in 2009 as the LGBTQ & HIV/AIDS Community Liaison at the New York City Council, where he organized grassroots campaigns on issues including transgender rights, hate crimes, housing for people with HIV/AIDS, and marriage equality. He helped develop groundbreaking initiatives against bullying in New York City public schools and to break down stigma against people living with HIV/AIDS.
