On Saturday, Nov 2, about 200 people took to the streets to say no to racism, bigotry and hate and to defend equality, inclusion and diversity! New Paltz Women in Black sponsored the action and Donna Goodman and Ingrid Hughes were the organizers. We thank them, our speakers, our cosponsors (below) and all who joined us!

Special thanks too to the Tin Horn Uprising Brass Band,  Debbie Lan and The Resisterhood Choir and the Redwing Blackbird Puppet Theater for adding drama, music and a festive atmosphere for the day!

Check out our great coverage in the New Paltz Times and in Mid Hudson News. We thank Spectrum News too!
