Student Protest Organizers Featured in Globe
Emerson College student organizers of a rally on City Hall Plaza to demand that Sen. Jeff Flake and his Republican colleagues reject the Supreme Court confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh were featured in a Boston Globe story about the Monday morning protest.
Erin Swauger ’19 and Annie Noel ’21 were quoted in the Globe, alongside rising political stars Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who defeated a longtime incumbent in the Democratic primary for New York’s 14th Congressional District, and Ayanna Pressley, a Boston city councilor who defeated 10-term Democratic Congressman Michael Capuano in the Massachusetts 7th primary; as well as Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon.
Flake was appearing at City Hall to take part in a panel as part of the Forbes Under 30 Summit. Forbes originally booked the Colonial Theatre for the event through tenant ATG, but President Pelton asked that it be moved to a more secure venue for safety reasons.
