We send from our Board: An invitation to contribute to the Golden Jubilee Fund for Western New York Peace Center! (see other announcements/events/campaigns further below)

The Western New York Peace Center was founded in 1967 by Buffalonians responding to the call by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr to end the Vietnam War as part of the social justice and racial justice movements.
The WNY Peace Center continues in action: resisting militarism and war around the world, fighting unsustainable environmental policies, promoting economic and racial and prisoner justice, protecting immigrants and refugees, teaching peaceful conflict resolution, and working in solidarity with Latin America.

Hi, All! 716-332-3904; 716-931-3520 11/3/17
The WNY Peace Center’s 50th Annual Dinner with Amy Goodman – on double-checking etc – is SOLD OUT!! So sorry to those of you who are disappointed!! We have however gotten special dispensation from the wonderful staff at the Buffalo-Niagara Convention Center to allow people to come to hear Amy Goodman speak at this truly a historic event. So IF YOU HAVEN’T already purchased a ticket – i.e., have a reservation at the door – you can come at 7pm (or shortly before) for admittance when Amy speaks for a donation of $20.
The awards to Ken Sherman & Riverside Salem UCC/DC – and a surprise media person – will also be given after Ms Goodman’s talk, “21 Years Covering the Movements Changing America.” Ismail & Co. will also be playing for the after-celebration (right there of course with our friends at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center). There’s free parking for all at the Fernbach Ramp.
We’ll also have special DVDs of our dear Pete Seeger’s performance and sharing at our 2013 Annual Dinner at what was his last fully public performance – we’ll be giving them ***as a thank-you for memberships!!*** (sorry that phrase got left out of our last email!!)
And again, physical tickets are not being distributed.
