Buffalo Quakers

Avis Wanda McClinton from the 339 Manumissions and Beyond Partners presented on her work researching the documents freeing slaves from bondage released by Haverford College.

In Meeting for Business on March 23, 2025, Friends approved the Meeting signing the the HALT Act petition shared by the Inside-Outside Collective of New York Yearly Meeting. Friends are also encouraged to read the full petition and sign individually.

For three Wednesday evenings in January 2025, seven members of Buffalo Quaker Meeting attended via videoconference a training called Creating Anti-Racist Organizations, which was presented by the Center for the Study of White American Culture (CSWAC) and sponsored by New York Yearly Meeting. Over 140 members of New York Yearly Meeting attended the training.  

I recently read a friend’s Facebook post, outlining that we are on the verge of oligarchic collapse. They mentioned their anxiety. I identify completely, but I really can’t go down that particular doom hole.
