​Penn Yan Action Coalition

An affiliate organization of Saint Mark’s, Penn Yan Action Coalition was founded in response to the unjust deportation of a local migrant worker. Since then, they have advocated for and educated our community about issues related to immigrants’ rights through lectures and an annual community read, held a successful refugee bedding drive, and championed a “rescue” of Penn Yan’s newspaper, the Chronicle-Express. Most recently, they have gotten involved in promoting gun safety.
