#NotAgainSU Updated List of Immediate Needs for the Student Protesters at the Barnes Center, “The Arch” (Archibald Gym)

1. They need real food - something other than pizza, spaghetti, or pasta.

2. They need faculty willing to hang around this evening and/or stay overnight because some students feel unsafe with the plain clothes DPS officers there and no faculty or leadership there. The concern is that officers are hanging around, talking to students, and gathering information to use for potential repercussions. The building closes at 1a.m.and does not reopen until 10 a.m. tomorrow. You can leave after 1am but you cannot enter. It’s particularly important for white, tenured faculty to step up!
3. They need food in the morning when the building opens as they will not have food because the building will be closed over night.

4. They asked for lots if water as they will not have access to any space other than the lobby after 1a.m.

This list came from faculty who are assisting the protesters.

Vegan CNY is a team effort. Vegan CNY is not one person or a small group of people- its a community. We want to take this community to the next level - expanding programs, making veganism and our community more accessible, connecting with other organizations and businesses.
Are you interested in getting involved? Do you want to help enhance our current programs and events or expand to create new ones? Do you have a skill set that would help further the organizations mission?

Soon, we will be sharing out various committees you can join and take part with, as well as smaller tasks or areas people might want to work on.
We ask that those interested in sitting on a committee join as members of Vegan CNY. The yearly cost is $10, but we will not turn anyone away due to hardship.
To find out more about what it means to be a member and to sign up, visit our website https://vegancny.org/membership/

We hope to have more information on committees, who to contact, and how you can help in the coming week or so, but for now, a sneak peak of the committees...
-Programming and Events: Screens project/event/program proposals. Plans future events, projects and programs, tracks attendance #'s and other critical info. Coordinates outreach to local businesses and at other events - with subcommittees for things like Vegan After Work, Community Food Share, starting a VeganCNY savings card, revamping the CNY Vegan Places guide)
-Content: curating original content for the web/social media, marketing, web and social media management
-Animal Advocacy: coordinate protests, demonstrations, work parties
-Membership: plan annual membership meeting, membership drives, connects new members with committees
-Finance: Court and work with donors, seek out/apply for/oversee implementation of grants and other fundraising opportunities for all programs including Syracuse Vegfest
-Governance: assess the skill sets of the board, measure the individual member and general board quality, propose policies and procedures including onboarding of board members

Yes, NY!!

Thank you to all the organizations and people involved in making this happen!

We're excited to see the change unfold at our area hospitals. Upstate Medical University Crouse Health St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center, Syracuse NY

"New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for signing into law on Dec. 6 a landmark bill that guarantees hospital patients a healthful plant-based option at every meal.

Bill S1471A/A4072, introduced by Senator Brad Hoylman and Assembly Member Richard Gottfried, requires hospitals in New York to make available upon request plant-based meals and snacks containing no animal products or by-products that are nutritionally equivalent to other menu items. The bill also requires hospitals to list the plant-based options on all written materials and menus."
