Our organization Partnership for the Public Good is hosting a community event on Tuesday August 11th from 5:30pm - 7:30pm at Providence Farm Collective at 5701 Burton Rd, Orchard Park, NY 14127. The purpose of this event is to discuss how the federal actions in 2025 will affect Western New York as presented in our fact sheet. We are excited to host an opportunity for community members and public officials to share their opinions in a semi-formal setting. Please let me know if you have any questions or are planning to join us!

On Tuesday, August 11, at 4:00 PM, we're inviting organizations across Buffalo and Western New York to join us at 250 Delaware Ave. for Communities Over Billionaires—a coalition action connecting immigrant justice, climate justice, Indigenous sovereignty, utility justice, and the growing power of Big Tech. This is a part of a set of week-long actions all over the country.

While our organizations work on different issues, we are increasingly confronting the same systems of corporate power.

The rapid expansion of AI data centers is driving up electricity demand, threatening our water and natural resources, consuming public subsidies, and increasing utility costs for working families. At the same time, many of these same technologies are fueling surveillance systems that separate immigrant families, while corporate developers and billionaires profit from taxpayer dollars and public infrastructure.

All materials are provided, including postcards, scripts, addresses, instructions, and stamps (while supplies last). No sign-up is necessary and there is no charge. This is a fun way to meet like-minded people and make a difference. 

The League of Women Voters of Buffalo-Niagara, Buffalo United Coalition and Main Street Movement invite you to join us on Saturday, August 8 from 1:00 - 3:00 pm at Gateway Harbor Pavilion located at One Young Street in Tonawanda for Conversations along the Canal and a visible demonstration of the power of community defending democracy.

On August 8th, communities across New York State will gather for Conversations Along the Canal, a statewide day of civic action honoring the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and inspired by the power of communities coming together to protect and strengthen our democracy.

On August 8, we are asking communities across New York State to gather along our waterways to mobilize voters and increase turnout. In Lockport, we will have a picnic.

The League of Women Voters of Buffalo-Niagara and Stand Up Lockport invite you to join us on Saturday, August 8 from 11am-1:30pm at Widewaters Marina Pavilion in Lockport, NY. Conversations along the Canal and a Community Picnic are planned. We will have crafts, games and food.

From the Erie Canal to the Hudson River, from the Great Lakes to the Finger Lakes, New York’s waterways have always connected us, moved us, and shaped our history. Now, they can help us carry forward.

Please join us for a community picnic. The Erie Canal once united communities across our state. Today, our waterways remind us that democracy also depends on connection, movement, and shared purpose.

We invite every community along New York’s waterways to create a local event on August 8 that builds voter turnout partnerships, brings neighbors together, and reminds every New Yorker that their voice matters.

Join us and East Side Community Cookout & Solidarity Grill 10-2 for conversation and food. We will meet at Martin Luther King Park- Shelter #2, right near the splashpad

A good life seems to be getting harder and harder to afford for most Americans. Our small cities and towns in particular are struggling. Hospitals are closing, housing costs are out of reach for many, and good paying jobs are becoming scarce. Each town has its unique difficulties.

Let's have a Community Conversation. Come talk with your neighbors and about what concerns you most. Decide as a group what questions to ask Aaron Gies, the Democratic Candidate for Congress in NY 23. What economic worries does the Representative for Jamestown need to understand heading into Congress in January 2027.

Doors open at 6pm. Please promptly get a refreshment to take to a table where discussion will begin by 6:15pm.

Join us! Just show up with a positive attitude, a desire to save democracy, a love of honks and waves, and a thick skin for middle fingers and waving fists.

Locations:

1. Cleveland Dr Overpass

2. Genesee St Overpass

3. * Rt 33 and Cayuga St pedestrian overpass

Bring: banners or signs with big, simple messages drivers can read in a glance; big or small American, Canadian, Ukrainian, Palestinian, Venezuelan, Greenland flags; anything you may need, like water or a chair

Remember: Ignore the middle fingers and negativity coming from some of the cars below. For every one of those confused folks, you are providing hope to another 100 people!
