Voter Engagement Event Coming To Buffalo, New York

The drama and suspense surrounding the 2024 elections are building, and they will soon boil over as election day approaches, Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

This year's election season brings offices in every level of government up to be filled. From hyper-local offices like school boards and highway superintendents to the President of the United States. Given the large range of seats that need to be elected, there is sure to be a lot of information that voters need to be aware of to ensure they're up to date on all the issues.

To help with that, a local non-profit, nonpartisan group dedicated to ensuring people are informed about the electoral process is holding an event to do just that.

The League of Women Voters of Buffalo-Niagara is teaming up with Xi Epsilon Omega and Gamma Phi Omega Chapters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., the Buffalo Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., the Kappa Upsilon Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., and the Buffalo Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., to host Say Less, a talk about real issues that impact the community.

The event is scheduled for Wednesday, September 25, 2024, at the William-Emslie Family YMCA at 585 William Street in Buffalo. It will feature discussions surrounding the importance of voting and issues that impact people all over America, young and old.

In addition to important conversations that will occur, there will be a panel discussion that will feature Nile Blass, the DMV Regional Organizer for the League of Women Voters national office, Lisa Hicks with the City of Buffalo Division of Development, W. Charles Brandy with the Buffalo Public Schools, and Giavanna Cuomo-Browne with the Buffalo Center for Health Equity. Jamil Crews will moderate the discussion.

The event will run from 5:30 to 7:30 on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, and it's free and open to the public. More information is available on the League of Women Voters of Buffalo-Niagara website.
