What is power and why is it essential that we invest our time and energy to build powerful communities, grassroots organizations, and governing institutions? How do we grow our power while defeating powerful billionaires, corporations, and anti-democratic forces in Buffalo and beyond? Learn what it takes to build grassroots power in and with frontline communities.

We’re born into and come of age in particular political and cultural histories. We embody different class, race, and gender-based identities.
