The Irving Political Coalition poised to relaunch for 2017

After the 2016 presidential election, many who were disappointed with the results believe the battlefield now turns local. For concerned citizens in Irving, this includes the Reconstitution of the Irving Political Coalition. Over the years they have sought to get progressives elected to the city council and school board. They were also very vocal during the raging debate regarding the building of the Irving Entertainment Center.

One hallmark for organization is the Coalition is inclusive. The partners have included not only White, African-American and Hispanic members, but also Jewish, Muslim, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Sudanese, and Korean. This diversity has been vital in helping different communities understand each other better when issues arise, like the arrest of the then 14-year-old student at MacArthur High School over his homemade clock for a science project.

The Reconstitution of The Irving Political Coalition kicks off Thursday, Dec. 15 at 6:30 p.m. at the iRealty Office located at 101 S. Main Street, Suite B, in Irving (entrance on Irving Blvd). Due to the limited seating available, interested residents are asked to RSVP by contacting Lisette Caraballo at 817-703-9060 or Anthony Bond at 214-830-6719.

An agenda will be sent to all confirmed attendees.
