The "Rainbow Journalism" (RJ) course was a way to proactively channel the devastating effects 45 had on the CSUSB community. This article focuses on the decolonial tactics of RJ, which are simultaneously founded in the "transfronteriza" experiences of the author and Xicanx, Africana, Feminist, Queer resistance approaches. Both have root in post-colonial Indigenous and Africana methods of resistance found in Latinx "modos" of survival/preservation.
