Event Website: https://www.moveforwardnewyork.org/not-my-president
Join Move Forward New York and UUP on the campus of SUNY New Paltz (at the JFT Concourse) to let the world know that we will do not accept the current president of our great nation. Attendees are asked to please bring one cardboard box between about 12:00-12:30 when we will set up a wall. During the event, we fully plan to knock the wall down - as a signal of our loyalty to the true values of the USA. This event will include passionate speakers (Debra Clinton (founder of Move Forward New York) and long-standing educator, Glenn Geher (Founding member of Move Forward New York; higher ed activitst), Brian Obach (Sociologist, expert on large-scale social unions), Ilgu Ozler (political scientist, president of Hudson Valley chapter of Amnesty International) and, Daniel Torres (Deputy Supervisor for the Town of New Paltz; fighter of the good fight), - along with music, chants, and inspiration by The Tin Horn Uprising - the Hudson Valley's premier protest-oriented marching band.
And if you have a US flag, bring it - we need to remind the world that this is OUR country - not the country of some madman at the wheel.
