What They Do
Still starting out and not yet having a definitive agenda, New Paltz Action Network is a group dedicated to “establishing the infrastructure for communication on campus.” They aim to build student power and organize politically. Their main goal is to facilitate a bond between the individuals and organizations of New Paltz, eventually connecting them with the community and other colleges.
How to Get Involved
New Paltz Action Network is active on their Facebook, sharing information about local events. Recently, they promoted “Refuge Recovery,” an addiction treatment program held at the Family of New Paltz every Tuesday night. On Dec. 4 was “Comradeship, Community and Care,” which was put on by the New Paltz Socialists.
