A core intention of CNY Solidarity Coalition is to bring together and support organizations already out there helping directly affected communities in the Central New York area. Each week we’ll spotlight one of the over 100 organizations in our Directory; there’s a LOT going on!
Interfaith Community Collective
The ICC formed last year as a nonprofit collective formed from many volunteers and through 5 faith communities working together: University United Methodist (where food distribution and the clothing closet have been located for a long time), All Saints Church, Temple Adath, Temple Concord, and Grace Church.
Called to the work of social justice and equity, we provide a welcoming community and share access to life-supporting resources with our Central New York neighbors. We achieve social justice when everyone in Central New York is warm, fed, safe, and thriving.

Reclaiming Our Collective Inheritance: A Palestinian Diaspora Collection
Now through January 17, 2026
Wednesdays-Fridays 2-6pm; Saturdays 12-4pm
505 Hawley Avenue, Syracuse, NY 13203
The Palestinian Thobe is more than an embroidered garment—it is a living archive. For Palestinians in the diaspora, these intricately stitched dresses are tangible connections to a homeland many have never seen, yet fiercely carry within them. Each motif tells a story—of identity, ancestral village, and unbroken resilience. Tragically, many Thobes have been lost to time, war, and dispossession—from heirloom dresses smuggled out of Palestine to stolen Thobes rediscovered in antique markets, their narratives preserved only in the whispers of fading thread.

Manlius Cinema, 135 E. Seneca St, Manlius NY
When five Howard University students sat on a segregated Maryland carousel in 1960, the arrests made headlines. When the largely Jewish community near Glen Echo Amusement Park joined the Black students in picketing, the first organized interracial civil rights protest in US history was born. Filmmaker Ilana Trachtman will be live and in person with us for a post-show Q&A.

Race Matters Book Club: “White Poverty”
Monday, January 26, 7 pm

Syracuse Street Heat is just one, very unencumbered way to work for peace and social justice. We’re part of a decades-long grassroots tradition here, in Ithaca and elsewhere. We stand out and stand up for what we stand for.
A handful of us stand at busy intersections, for 45 minutes at rush hour, pivoting to the traffic with hand-held signs. We want to get the public thinking about issues often underrepresented in the media. We’re there weekly in almost all of Syracuse’s weather (we seldom cancel). Bring your own sign – or use one of ours. No meetings or committees, so participation time is minimal (yay!) Our Team: Ann, Dick, Ed, Geoff, Jim, Julienne, Les, Leslie, Peter….
To learn more, call Ann or Ed: (315) 478 4571.
