Dedicated to the promotion of peace through justice at home and abroad.
The Western New York Peace Center has been working for peace through justice at home and abroad, since its founding in 1967 as a chapter of Rev. Dr. King’s Clergy and Laity Concerned. We are dedicated to enriching the quality of life of our local and global communities through the prevention of violence to people and the planet. Peaceful conflict resolution among people and within institutions, especially for youth, is central to our mission.
Check out what Dr. Cornel West has to say about us!
“I am so deeply blessed to come back to Buffalo to highlight 53 years of high quality service love and struggle for justice on behalf of my brothers and sisters of all colors who have chosen to build on the legacy of the clergy and laity concerned. I’ve come here to learn! I’ve come here to listen! But I’ve come here most importantly to rejoice for 53 years of struggle! Western New York Peace Center, let the world just look at you, look at yourselves these 53 years you’ve been bearing that kind of witness!…”
