Today I met up with a political activist here in San Antonio. He is working to help organize a union to help all workers get better benefits. Their insurance rates and job security problems are insane. I can’t believe how much corporations can get away with just because they have money. I feel like this is a very important issue here in San Antonio, and I am really interested in getting involved. Before I came to UIW, I really had no political mindset. I still don’t know if I side with either party, but I am very opinionated about different issues. Though I don’t work for the company myself, it seems as though there is a call for college students to rise up and make a difference. This group is actually putting together a workshop for all college students interested in becoming active in issues like this. It’s one thing to be passionate about an issue, but what do you do with that passion? This guy is providing students with a way to turn their passion into action. I’m very excited to get involved, especially since there is so much I don’t know anything about. I only know about unions from a very shallow standpoint, so this is very eye opening. Anyway, that is the new cause in my life, and I am excited to get involved!
