We’re proud to share our The Public Good: An Annual Paper of Progress (2025 Edition) highlighting a year of community-driven policy work across Buffalo and Western New York.

We highlight the stories, research, and community wins from launching our first Advocacy in Action Summit and releasing Buffalo in Transition, to major wins on school suspensions, community responders, and the fight to restore Humboldt Parkway.The paper also documents how federal funding cuts are impacting local organizations—and how partners are organizing in response. We’re grateful to our partners, advocates, and staff who made this work possible.
