Tristán López is a human rights defender, activist and community organizer from Guatemala. Tristán serves as a Program Associate at Nebula Fund, where he focuses on administrative and grants management support as well as holistic security and trans movements grantmaking. He was appointed to the Grant Making Panel (2023-2024) of the International Trans Fund, where he engaged in participatory grantmaking for supporting trans movements globally.

Tristán activism began in 2017 in anti-corruption organizing when he understood the overlaps between the anti-gender movement and corrupt anti-democratic actors. At the moment he volunteers for anti-corruption organizations in his home country, Guatemala, and sits at the board of two local LGBTIQ+ NGOs. Tristán’s learning opportunities include the RFSL’s Rainbow Advocacy Program (2019-2020); and ILGA World’s Junior Consultancy on the Gender Identity, Expression and Sex Characteristics Programme (2021). He studied literature and philosophy as an undergraduate and has a master’s degree in contemporary history where he studied gender narratives during the Cold War in Central America. Additionally, he is currently studying another postgraduate degree in philosophy. His first master’s degree dissertation was published in an opinion paper for Global Action for Trans Equality (GATE). Tristán loves to read, paint and is a huge fan of board games, video games and meditating and aspires to become a writer some day.
