Day 1 Walk

We invite you and your neighbors to gather as fellow human beings and walk. Starting at Dietz Stadium at 1pm. Ending at The Greenhouse at 65 St. James St. Following the walk we can gather to get warm, have some hot drinks and continue discussions.


This is not a protest and there is no agenda, it is just unity. We walk together in solidarity, and start over from Day 1. We put aside what divides us and focus on what unites us – our humanity. This is just one day to simply walk together.


In the face of so much that divides us, let us not forget that we are united by the bonds of our common fellowship in the human race.

Ride Sharing in the Hudson Valley – A meet-up to make it happen!

Postponing (or possibly going virtual) due to today’s weather. If interested in joining virtually, please text (347) 460-1818. Help build a more connected and sustainable Hudson Valley through ride-sharing –  within the region and beyond. Public transportation options are limited and costly; gas and tolls can be a financial burden; and there are of course social and environmental impacts of having so many vehicles with just one person on our roads. Let’s drive change together! Featuring: storytelling (from hitchhike tales to Blah Blah Car); discussion of models, resources and needs; and action steps to get a pilot networking system off the ground. Feel free to bring snacks, stories, ideas, and resources to share.
