The Friends of Peace are
honored to host a lecture by Alyssa Burgin, a superstar in the Texas climate change activist community.
Ms. Burgin is a fifth-generation Texan, born and raised in San Antonio. She majored
in physics and microbiology at the University
of Texas, working in
early monoclonal antibody research and public health projects. A lifelong
interest in political communication, however, brought her to journalism
graduate school, and a subsequent master's degree paved her way into positions
in state and national political campaigns. In 2002, she shifted into issue
advocacy, becoming first, the media and outreach director for Texans for Peace,
then the crisis communications director for the Christian Peacemaker Teams. She
co-founded the Texas Drought Project in 2008.
We are looking forward to an informative lecture and discussion!
