Open Buffalo’s Justice & Opportunity campaign work includes advocating for ecological justice, creating safer neighborhoods, dismantling of mass incarceration and cutting recidivism, increasing grassroots power in frontline communities, and removing barriers to civic participation.
This work is often driven by important calls for legislative action, legislative proposals or pending legislation, and is carried out in collaboration with residents, community-based organizations, and the local criminal justice and corrections systems.
