COMIC CON 2018 ReZisters
San Diego is hosting voter registration at the Comic Con for the first time with democracy-loving cultural celebrities at this year’s Comic-Con as it stages its 48th annual exposition of comics and related popular artforms in San Diego.
A team of more than fifty people has been recruited to register voters for the 2018 midterm elections inside and outside the San Diego Convention Center. Indie comic book publisher Matteo Pizzolo of Black Mask Studios has partnered with Indivisible to reach guests from all across the country using an app that facilitates online registration.
Using the theme “Voting Is My Superpower”, volunteers in T-shirts and capes are conducting what observers believe is the first time an organized drive has taken place within Comic-Con. The drive is nonpartisan.
An off-site panel discussion at Comickaze in Liberty Station (no badges required) on Saturday afternoon will explore the local impact of immigration policy, and real-life resistance in San Diego. The indie publisher will join Kathy Stadler of Indivisible, David Trujillo of the ACLU, and Yusef Miller with the Council on American-Islamic Relations for the panel..
Pizzolo is the author of CALEXIT, a dystopian political tale of a California rebellion after a second-term Trump administration orders the immediate deportation of all immigrants in the United States. A new edition of the sold-out comic is being released at Comic-Con featuring San Diegans playing a key role in the storyline.
