“We want to be able to prepare for the worst. We want our community to be resilient to what may come,” Jedlicka said. To do that, Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper plans to advocate for the millions of dollars needed to fund resiliency projects in Western New York.

Thanks to Timothy Kennedy's legislative staff for taking the time to meet with local Buffalonians to discuss climate solutions! We are excited to be a part of 200+ grassroots, constituent-led lobby meetings this week as part of the Citizens Climate Lobby fall lobby week! We are working to create a livable world for all.

Still thinking about how awesome it was to gather with 800+ other climate advocates from around the country, and meet with our Members of Congress as part of the summer CCL Conference and Lobby Day this past July!

Collectively, we had 402 lobby meetings with Congressional offices, asking for support for clean energy policy.

Sound exciting? You can join us for the FREE virtual conference on November 14-15!
