  • Our City Action Buffalo last month released a set of reports aimed at helping seasoned organizers and people looking to become civically engaged alike
  • a guide for understanding and challenging the well-established power structures in Buffalo and Western New York.

The article from The Buffalo News discusses the "Buffalo Power Structure: Our City in Action" report, which examines the influence and decision-making processes within Buffalo's political and economic spheres.
