There was no question for Claudia that undocuqueers needed to actively do healing work as part of their organizing efforts and everyday lives. She understood that, as people who are targeted by multiple systems of power, healing practices are urgent to avoid premature illness and death. In Queer Necropolitics, Jin Haritaworn, Adi Kuntsman, and Silvia Posocco (2014, 4) discuss the ways in which queers who are racialized and Othered undergo forms of “killing and of ‘letting die.’” By theorizing queer necropolitics, the authors argue that “everyday death worlds” range from “war, torture or imperial invasion” to “completely normalized violence,” which include “the disposing and abandonment of others” (2). Undocuqueers and other LGBTQ migrants, as racialized, exploited, disposable, and forgotten populations, see the healing of their communities as a radical act against violence. It not only centers survival, but also, and especially, living.
