WHY YOU SHOULD BE THERE.

FACT  #1

You'll leave with something that's useful.

FACT #2

Together, we can do anything.

FACT #3

Your presence matters.

The Buffalo Black Caucus provides the necessary resources to a community that has been left behind for too long. The Caucus will feature a host of panel discussions and roundtables on issues that greatly impact the Black community.

No more working in silos! Building together will make the work that we do outlive us all and make way for a prosperous, safe and healthy black Buffalo.  This space has been curated so that we can network, collaborate, heal, and grow-- together.

All of our voices matter.  YOUR VOICE MATTERS.  We all bring something unique to the table that can tilt our work further into progress.  For too long decisions have been made without those who they affect the most at the table.  That changes now!
