ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE

Turning Tragedy into Purpose.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Join us in bringing free groceries to Buffalo families for the holidays!

If you or your family could use some extra groceries this season, we’d love to have you stop by our holiday food distribution at 1319 Jefferson Avenue on Tuesday December 9th. We’ll be sharing fresh produce, pantry staples, and holiday treats with anyone who needs them. And for those looking to support the cause, your donations help us continue showing up for Buffalo families in meaningful ways. A big shout out to United Healthcare Community Plan of New York, and Our Mommie Village for making this possible – your support brings real comfort to our community, especially during the holidays!

UPCOMING EVENTS

Spreading Holiday Joy on Jefferson Avenue

If you’d like to help bring some extra joy to local kids this season, we’d love to have you join us at the Jefferson Avenue Clinic for our holiday toy donation and wrapping event! Whether you’re dropping off a gift, sponsoring a bundle, or staying to wrap with us, every bit of support goes directly to families here in Buffalo. And if giving financially is easier, online donations help us keep programs like this thriving all year long. A big heartfelt thank you to our sponsors and partners who make events like this possible!

OUR MISSION

What makes us unique

Welcome to Agents For Advocacy, a Buffalo New York based non-profit dedicated to creating a world where one's race and environment do not dictate their future. Founded in the wake of a tragic event that took the life of a beloved family member, our organization is driven by a deep commitment to social justice and equality.

At Agents For Advocacy, our mission is to spread awareness of socioeconomic inequality and systemic racism, working tirelessly to dismantle the barriers that prevent individuals from reaching their full potential. We believe that everyone deserves an equal opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances.

DISMANTLING RACISM

Fostering Advocacy & Change as a Buffalo Non-Profit

As a Buffalo-based non-profit, we aim to challenge existing systems, policies, and attitudes that perpetuate injustice. Our vision is to foster a reality where every person, regardless of their race or environment, can access the resources, opportunities, and support necessary to succeed. We focus and carry out this vision through strategic initiatives in collaboration with other local Buffalo businesses, community engagement and public speaking engagements at schools, universities and events, and partnerships with like-minded organizations.

A DYNAMIC SPEAKER LIKE NO OTHER

Book Mark Talley Speaking Events

As a Buffalo native public speaker, Mark brings engagement, humor, and serious conversations about change to your next event. Mark Talley's story is one of trajedy-turned-advocacy, using his own difficult experiences with racism into advocacy for change. Mark's speaking events broach topics such as systemic injustice and systemic racism, which in turn negatively impact our children, neighborhoods, communities, and cities. Together, we can create a brighter and more equitable future for all.
