The Sanctuary Working Group is a collective of students, staff, and faculty creating a campus that is inclusive, protective, and just for all affected by racist, anti-immigrant practices. We work in coalition with La XENTE, the Latinx student organization. We center undocumented, international, immigrant, and mixed-status family community members and all people of color in our meetings and in our efforts. We are student-led and have a student caucus which meets separately, in addition to holding larger meetings that include faculty and staff. We welcome new members. Extensive knowledge about immigrant justice is not necessary. We welcome opportunities to collaborate with other organizations, departments, and programs across The New School.

New School Policy and Design for Outer Space (NS-PDOS) is focused on exploring the dynamics and distribution of egalitarian models of governance and design in all aspects of space exploration. As a chapter of SEDS (Students for the Exploration and Development of Space), an international student organization, we will draft and develop projects for further research into near- and distant-future design problems off earth. Questions of space settlement governance, economy, existential risk, communications and information theory, and bioastronautics are possible topics we will explore as a collective.
