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!

End sexist exploitation and oppression, demand health care autonomy and pay parity - RIGHTS, JUSTICE, ACTION.

Join the Buffalo United Coalition on Saturday, March 28th at 11am in Niagara Square in downtown Buffalo for a rally and march, joining thousands of others across the country!

We have the power and are claiming it together. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.

What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has become a sustained national resistance to tyranny, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community determined to defend democracy. Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever.

When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence.

On March 28th, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. Join us.

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
