Five panelists discussed voter rights and civic education in the Pearl Stable Monday night, at a symposium organized by Trinity’s political themed online magazine, The Contemporary.
The panel consisted of Marisa B. Perez-Diaz, Texas State Board of Education member, Jason Stanford, communications director for the mayor of Austin, Juany Torrez, founder of Organize SA, H. Drew Galloway, the executive director of MOVE San Antonio, a voting recruitment organization, and George Rodriguez, a conservative activist who worked for the Reagan and George H. W. Bush administrations.
Benjamin Collinger, Trinity sophomore and the Executive Director of The Contemporary, introduced the panel with a brief statement, “We need the mobilization of millennials to represent us in this era of political polarization. We are gradually building a movement.”
