Organizers say they want to capitalize on the excitement of a presidential race to teach young people how they can stay civically engaged. “If we can help folks find access to reliable and trustworthy, credible information and resources, and then equip them with helping to get them to the polls and making that plan to vote, then I think we’ve done our job,” said Jaimie Thompson with Trinity University’s Division of Student Affairs.
Friday’s event will feature a lecture from professors in the political science department. Students will have a Q&A session with organizations like the League of Women Voters of San Antonio and the Mexican American Civil Rights Institute before registering to vote or learning about becoming an election worker.“I think it’s about that nervousness that makes the education and the information sharing and those credible resources so important.
