Support the Delegation to West Virginia

From June 8th -11th, 5 members from Tonawanda and Buffalo will travel to  Fayetteville, West Virginia to meet with members of several grassroots community organizations who fight for environmental justice in Appalachia.

Our members are regular people who live in neighborhoods that are up against huge polluters. We will learn how residents are fighting coal companies who are stripping their land and polluting water sources near their homes with toxic chemicals.  We will share strategies, action ideas and work to build our movement that priorities people’s health. After the delegation, our members will present on our observations and discuss how the work of Appalachian communities has impact on our work in Tonawanda and Buffalo.

To make this incredible movement building opportunity possible, we need to raise $2,000 by June 8th. Our members are doing their own fundraising in order to be part of this delegation. A donation of $10 will help train local leaders to continue to build a strong environmental justice movement in Western New York.

Thank you so much for your support!
