VOICE BUFFALO INC

Description

VOICE Buffalo stands as a beacon for racial justice and equity, spearheading change through political education and organized collective action. With a mission deeply rooted in fostering a society where diversity thrives and everyone has the means and voice to flourish, VOICE Buffalo envisions communities that are empowered, informed, and interconnected. This vision propels our determination to ensure all individuals have access to essential resources and a say in decisions impacting their lives.

The organization's structure comprises committees, including V.I.B.E. (Voices Influencing Building Equity), A.R.I.S.E. (Acceptance, Respect, Inclusion, Support, and Equity), and Street Certified, each tailored to address specific community needs. V.I.B.E. engages directly impacted youth in healing-centered activities, emphasizing civic education and narrative change. A.R.I.S.E., born out of a necessity for improved access to jobs and services for people with disabilities, champions the principle of inclusivity and self-representation. Meanwhile, Street Certified provides a restorative platform for formerly incarcerated individuals, facilitating their reintegration and empowerment through civic education and personal development.
