Reunión Anual de Aire Limpio Sábado, 3 de febrero
Que año ha estado en Clean Air! Nuestra organización ha tenido un tremendo impacto en nuestras comunidades y, más probable, justo en tu propio vecindario. Hemos obtenido un compromiso del DEC para comenzar a limpiar el antiguo sitio de American Axle en East Delavan, que ha estado filtrando PCB por más de 20 años. We engaged with 1,000 residents and workers to create Tonawanda Tomorrow, a comprehensive economic development plan to rebuild Tonawanda’s economy following the Huntley coal plant closure. And we facilitated a second round of participatory budgeting in Buffalo’s Niagara District. These are just a few among many highlights.
Ahora, it’s time to celebrate another year of exciting victories and developments at Clean Air. Sin la inversión y el trabajo de los miembros - y la creencia en el poder y la posibilidad de organizar nuestras comunidades - ninguno de nuestro trabajo en 2017 podría haber sido posible.
Join us at our Annual Meeting to celebrate these successes and prepare for another year of smart, la organización de base. Our membership and partners from across the region will come together to learn from each other, and share their successes and challenges from the past year. Nuestra reunión está abierta a cualquier persona que desee asistir, however only members are able to vote on this year’s incoming board of directors. If you wish to become a member, or renew your membership – do so online today o call our office at 716-852-3813.
The member meeting is scheduled for Saturday, 3 de febrero, 2018 from 11am to 1:30 p.m at the Buffalo Employment and Training Center, UB Gateway Room – 77 Goodell St. en búfalo. Light refreshments will be served. Childcare is available by request (Llame a Rebecca 716-862-3813 by January 22Dakota del Norte to request).
