Local activist Alfredo LLamedo

For the past year, activist Alfredo LLamedo has lived two lives. Online and at protests, where he’s been a fixture for the better part of a decade, he’s his usual, fervent, boisterous self – if only a bit muted. Still plenty loud, though, with a smidgen of yelling and swearing. Most always at those in power, and especially if your name is David Condon or Donald Trump.

Llamedo is suffering from liver cirrohsis and will soon pass away, sped up by his voluntary refusal of food, water and now alcohol, which began July 1.
