Who run the world? According to Beyoncé, girls do. Who runs San Antonio? A lot of important people. In honor of International Women’s Day on March 8, we’re celebrating 25 local lady bosses that make the Alamo City what it is today.
Michelle Tremillo
From helping secure paid sick leave for local workers to mobilizing voters to elect Democratic DA Kim Ogg in Harris County, the Texas Organizing Project has emerged as one of the state’s most visible advocates for social and economic justice. And, as its executive director, Michelle Tremillo is able to call on a growing base of supporters to help mobilize black and Latinx voters. What’s more, she’s done it from the Alamo City. Since returning to her native San Antonio with a degree from Stanford, Tremillo helped found Public Allies San Antonio, which trains future non-profit leaders.
