Dear Friends 50th Year wnypeace.org 716-332-3904; 716-931-3520
The national scene is incredible – hard to believe, and yet it was predictable. We resist the attack on the common good and the planet: all together now! Here we go! You can always check our website (wnypeace.org) – better by computer than by phone! – and our Facebook page.
Our 50th Annual Membership Meeting and Potluck/Snack-Luck, 2pm on this Saturday, May 20, will be an opportunity to put our heads together for strategizing and planning. We’ll also enjoy the great spirit and yes love that we all share or we would be doing this work together!! Join us at the WNYPC/NRC, 1272 Delaware Ave (entrance & pkg round back). See you there! Aloha! Si, se puede!!
Many Thanks, Peace, Solidarity, and yes Love.

UPCOMING EVENTS
Protest (Highly-Radioactive) Nuclear Waste Shipments!
May 19 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
About 6M Gallons of HIGHLY Radioactive liquid Nuclear Waste are going over the Peace Bridge approx every 2 weeks for the next 4 years! The environmental risks are huge!! One quart of this highly radioactive liquid is enough to destroy the water supply of any North American city. Join us at Front Park (by the tennis courts), Buffalo NY to protest. (Enter Front Park from Porter Ave; Front Park entrance is just before traffic circle.)
There’s no need to transport these materials through hundreds of communities, over public roads
We are so grateful to the many who worked, planned, and came out to give wonderful energy to protect People and the Planet at the People’s Solidarity Climate March here, the DC March, and all over the country!!
We’re especially grateful to our inspiring and insightful speakers – Dr. Michael E. Mann, Cong. Brian Higgins, Julie Barrett-O’Neill, Bill Nowak, the Lifesavers (don’t miss these heartening young people!!), Jessica Meyers-Altman, Agnes Williams – Seneca, Brandon Absher – and to Ismail & Co for the great music! And to our wonderful photographers, Johanna C. Dominguez (Activists of Buffalo on FB) and Alexis Oltmer (Univ @ Bflo: Bachelors of Photography). Our tablers, cosponsors, peacekeepers/guides, Brandi Jensen (videographer), the media (great coverage) … A most special Nya weh too to our dear Indigenous friends Maria Maybee, Water Protector, and Agnes Williams, Seneca, Indigenous Women’s Initiative, for opening and closing.
Many many thanks to all who came out – estimates average 500. But however many, all who were able to come out were DEFENDING THE SACRED!! and as we have heard from Rev Dr King “… Unarmed Truth and Unconditional Love will have the final word in reality …” That’s why we shall overcome!
Dear Friends,
You’ll never believe how many things are going on! So wear your raincoat, bring some water (and coffee if you indulge), and get ready – it really is fun to do the right thing with all this good company.
Please come out to Planned Parenthood today at 5:30pm, 2697 Main St, to stand in support of health care, and women’s reproductive health care and rights! Women’s rights are human rights!!
Weds, March 8, is International Women’s Day – “A Day Without Women” – a National Strike Day for Women. Come join us in that and at a brief gathering and press conference now at 4pm sharp on the steps of City Hall, then marching on to Elmwood and Tupper for Amplifying Women Power. See immediately below.
