      Presidential Forum on Wednesday at 7

      Looking to improve your political savvy? Come to a special political forum on Wednesday, Jan. 30 at 7 pm in the University Lecture Hall open to all students and community members interested in learning about and discussing vital issues related to the presidential race.


      The forum will be moderated by Louis Vandenberg, general manager of KUCR 88.3 FM and the producer of Los Angeles-based KPFK 90.7 FM’s acclaimed public affairs program, “Background Briefing“. A member of the State Democratic Central Committee, he is also the three-time Democratic nominee for United States Congress, 44th Congressional District.

      Student organizer Martha Preciado said she and a committee of students have invited candidates, or their representatives, to attend the forum and debate the important issues of this presidential race, such as war, healthcare, immigration, education, social security, and human rights. There will be a time for questions from the audience.

      Armando Navarro
      , professor of ethnic studies at UC Riverside and the leader of the National Alliance for Human Rights, said the student forum is coming at the right time, in the week just before the Feb. 5th California presidential primary.

      “The Inland Empire is going to be pivotal,” Navarro said. “And I contend that our students, and all students, will be pivotal in this race. I’ve never seen it like this. There’s a sense of urgency across the board. I am proud of these students who are taking such an active role in this political race.”
