Niagara Organizing Alliance for Hope

Spotlight

April 2013

1) 1. Brick by Brick – Building Diversity, Building Hope
Every year, the leaders of NOAH host an annual fundraiser banquet to support our leadership development, congregational development and social justice work. This year’s banquet will be held on Friday, May 17th beginning at 5:30pm at Antonio’s Banquet & Conference Center (7708 Niagara Falls Blvd.). Tickets to the event are $50 per person or $325 for a table of eight (8).

2) Public Transportation
"This is Our Life" is a joint campaign of the Niagara Organizing Alliance for Hope (NOAH) and VOICE-Buffalo calling for more investment and representation in the public transportation system serving the Greater Western New York area

3) Jobs that Pay Living Wages / Minimum Wage
In this difficult economic climate, the cost of living has continually increased, yet the wages that jobs pay have not kept pace with these increased costs. NOAH believes that jobs should pay a decent living wage.

4) Voter Registration and Get-Out-The-Vote Campaign
Civic engagement and voter turn-out rates have continually declined over the past years. This is a dangerous trend since democracy works only when the people make their voices heard! Voting is not only a right, it is a responsibility!

5) Member Organization Spotlight: First Presbyterian Church Niagara Falls
First Presbyterian Church of Niagara Falls and its members are reaching out to our community and ministering in a way that has a direct impact on the daily lives of area residents.
