Milo, also known as Mary, is excited to join the Clean Air Coalition team as a Coalition Organizer. Milo brings over 10 years of community organizing experience to the role, with wins in tenant organizing, workers rights, public health, and reallocating police-related funding and resources.

Milo is passionate about member-led and working class-oriented organizations, and has interned with the National Mobilization Against Sweatshops, worked as an organizer with WNY Council on Occupational Safety and Health, and served as an upstate coordinator on the Securing Wages Earned Against Theft Campaign and the Ain’t I A Woman?! Campaign. Milo helped found Queen City Workers Center (QCWC), a member-led, working-class organization in Buffalo that fights for workplace rights, builds tenant power, and has provided support to families experiencing the effects of incarceration. Milo has served as a housing organizer, board treasurer, and board president with QCWC, and loves seeing member leaders grow. Milo has a bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in Spanish from Binghamton University. Apart from organizing, Milo has spent much of their career working with people with disabilities.

In their free time, Milo enjoys spending time with their large family, especially chasing around their niece and nephew. Milo is known for their huge sweet tooth and enjoys baking. Milo has lived in WNY for most of their life, and loves to take in the scenery through long runs along the waterfront.
