Join us on The Public Good. This week we speak with Franchelle Parker, Executive Director of Open Buffalo, and Tyrell Ford, Lead Community Organizer at VOICE Buffalo. We discuss the tragedy that took place at the Tops on Jefferson on Saturday May 14 where ten people lost their lives and three others were wounded.
 
Franchelle and Tyrell share their personal responses to the hate crime and how their organizations are mobilizing to respond to community needs. We’re also talking about the upcoming budget decision and how city budgeting can directly impact community members.
