SUMMARY:Protest at Verizon stores for net neutrality
DESCRIPTION:Protest at a Verizon store against the rollback of net neutrality protections. \nJoin other Team Internet members at the protest. Internet users outraged by top Verizon lawyer turned FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s plan to gut net neutrality are planning to protest at Verizon retail stores across the country on Thursday\, December 7th\, one week before an expected vote at the FCC. Protesters will make it clear to members of Congress that the time is now to stand for net neutrality\, not Verizon’s bottom line. And please remember\, this event is about protesting actions of Verizon executives\, lobbyists and their supporters in Washington\, not the employees at these stores.

SUMMARY:Stand With Adrin Court Date
DESCRIPTION:We will again come together to show Adrin he has the community behind him.  \nToo many young black people are chewed up and spit out by the justice system\, and we need to show Kingston Police that we stand with Adrin\, and demand that his charges are dropped. \n#StandWithAdrin #NoJusticeNoPeace \n—-\nMore Info: \nOn July 20th 24 year old Adrin Broadhead was walking home from work when police stopped him to question where he was going\, and where he had been. They asked him what was in his hand\, and he was holding a beer. \n3 – 4 cop cars arrived and because he had no identification on him\, the officers kept asking him to repeat his name.  \nA cop came up behind him and tried to put his hands behind his back – before he knew it he was face down on the ground.  \nWhile on the ground – curled up in a fetal position\, he was pepper sprayed and tased by officers of the Kingston Police Department.  \nHe is bruised\, scratched and swollen. \nHis charges were: Littering\, Open Container and Resisting Arrest.

SUMMARY:Save Our Schools Rally & Doorknocking
DESCRIPTION:This weekend – our outreach is all about Education!

SUMMARY:Rally to Defend DACA
DESCRIPTION:Join us at a rally to defend DACA &  demand that Congressman Faso step up and fight for his constituents! Tuesday\, September 5 at noon\, 721 Broadway\, Kingston. \nCongressman Faso has said he supports legislation that would help young people with DACA remain permanently in the United States but we don’t need words\, we need action! Join us to demand that Congressman Faso push his party leaders to pass legislation now that will provide a permanent solution for young people\, with no strings attached. \nCo-Sponsors: New York Immigration Coalition\, Ulster Immigrant Defense Network\, Worker Justice Center of New York\, Community Voices Heard\, Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson\, Adelante Student Voices\, Grace Latino Outreach\, Rockland Immigration Coalition\, Citizen Action NY – Hudson Valley\, Jewish Voices for Peace – Hudson Valley\, Holy Cross/Santa Cruz Episcopal Church\, Peace is Not Silence (Kingston)\, WESPAC\,  (list in formation) \nBACKGROUND: For five years\, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals\, or DACA\, program has provided nearly 1 million young people\, including 50k New Yorkers\, protection from deportation\, the opportunity for higher education and jobs\, and brought stability to our communities. But now DACA is at risk. We have heard the Trump administration might come out with a decision this week or early next and we must be ready!  Last month\, 10 anti-immigrant Attorneys General issued an ultimatum to the Trump Administration: either end the DACA program by September 5 or we’ll take you to court. So far\, Trump has not responded. But we must be ready for whatever happens. The NYIC is calling on all of our members\, allies and partners to be prepared to step up to protect DACA and New York’s DREAMers. \nMultiple legislative solutions have been proposed in Congress but Speaker Ryan has not prioritized this urgent issue. We demand that congress pass a permanent legislative solution for DACA\, that includes a path to citizenship\, and has not strings attached! We need to make sure that our NY representatives knows that the people of New York are calling on them to #DefendDACA and all 11 million undocumented immigrants. NYIC is working together with our members and partners in the Hudson Valley\, Central NY\, and NYC to plan public responses to pressure our representatives to take action NOW.

SUMMARY:Citizens' March
DESCRIPTION:Our vision is for a budget that meets everyone’s basic needs\, regardless of their age\, ability\, financial or immigration status — a budget that does not take from our most vulnerable to give tax cuts to the most wealthy. A budget that protects our air & water! \nJoin us to take a stand for a moral budget. A budget that reflects our values.  \nRSVP Here: https://actionnetwork.org/events/citizens-march \n* The definition of the word “citizen” is “an inhabitant of a particular town or city”. We chose this name to combat the right-wing rhetoric and help change the narrative around what a Citizen really is. We welcome all concerned members of towns and cities across the Hudson Valley.
