“Our tireless media producer Gretchen Hasse attended the recent US Social Forum in Detroit, rubbing shoulders with many an artist and performer who share a passion for social justice. George Garza is a prime example of said artist. As a member of the San Antonio Music Coalition Local 782 he’s had first-hand experience working to engineer a local music scene the benefits musicians and music lovers.

Gretchen spoke with George about the humble beginnings of Local 782, holding meetings in a San Antonio coffee shop, to working with companies like Best Buy to help promote and provide performance venues for hardworking musical acts. Hopefully the work that Local 782 does will give you, dear viewers, some locally-applicable ideas of your own.”
