Another “frequent update!” to let you know about numerous important events – especially this week. Please especially notice
* Flowers for Sen. Gillibrand! February 14 @ 11:15 am – 12:00 pm. Sen. Gillibrand has the best voting record of all regarding Trump’s proposed #swampcabinet!! Please come to a TRUTHFUL TUESDAYS thank-you for valentine Sen. Gillibrand!! Flowers provided, and you can bring your own thank you cards, notes, and signs! We’ll gather in Larkin Building’s West Lobby (at Van Rensselaer & Exchange). Parking at east side of lot on other side of Exchange St. See you there!!

* Huddle: Coalition Building and Action Planning, Sun, Feb 12, 1:30pm at 1272 Delaware Ave (entrance & pkg round back). We’ll start out with an overview of what’s happening locally, as well as national days of action that have been called for. Followed by break-out sessions by issue, tentatively following our taskforces, to be adjusted by group interest. Then we’ll come back together for report-backs, and next steps! Especially good for reps of various local peace & justice groups, and new activists. All are welcome. (Signing up on our FB event page is helpful but not required.) Parking will be insufficient so, after the NRC parking is filled, we can go to Unity Church across the street, and especially Lancaster etc. for street parking. CARPOOLING IS RECOMMENDED (AS IS PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND WALKING).
And
* WNYPC quarterly membership meeting Sat., Feb 18, at 2pm at 1272 Delaware Ave (entrance & pkg round back): Come review, reassess, and help us plan! New taskforces, new energy, and renewed hope in the face of Crisis = Opportunity. You can renew your membership on line, at the meeting, or by mail. Potluck as well.

The “Water is Life Walk on Buffalo” was a wonderfully uplifting. Thanks to so many of you (see another great photo below!) for coming out – the police estimated the crowd at 400. “One: We are the people. Two. We love each other. Three: We will not let them wreck our planet.” Nya weh especially to our dear Indigenous brothers and sisters.
