Name
New Paltz Democratic Women
What They Do
New Paltz Democratic Women is a local grassroots group of politically active women who strive to get the best possible local candidates elected to office. They work to provide opportunities to converse with local candidates and local elected officials, to analyze key issues, to advance public policy, to serve on task forces and to connect with other Democrats. New Paltz Democratic Women believes that “when the number of women participating in politics increases, women will have enough power to promote women-friendly policy changes and to influence men to accept and approve legislation promoting women’s concerns.”
How to Get Involved
Unfortunately, New Paltz Democratic Women does not hold regular meetings. All members serve on various town Democratic Committees. They do hold events to support a candidate or a cause, which they invite people to. The last meeting they hosted was on July 28, a meet and greet for Supreme Court Candidate Cheryl Roberts.
