CNY Solidarity Coalition

United in defense of our community and our neighbors

Directory of Local Organizations

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. We (all of us) must not only work harder for the liberty of all people — we must work smarter. This means showing up for one another, and strategically sharing labor and resources. It also means not duplicating efforts.

Take some time and familiarize yourself with the incredible organizations and campaigns in the greater Syracuse area. Browse the directory by category, or scroll alphabetically. Pick a couple to connect with and see what you can do to help. When you’re out living your lives every day, learn to recognize needs and connect them with resources.

Feel free to email us with information about efforts you don’t see represented here. This is an ever-growing list. If you would like to be included in this directory, please fill out this google form.

About

#BlackLivesMatter was created in 2012 after Trayvon Martin’s murderer, George Zimmerman, was acquitted for his crime, and dead 17-year old Trayvon was posthumously placed on trial for his own murder. Rooted in the experiences of Black people in this country who actively resist our dehumanization, #BlackLivesMatter is a call to action and a response to the virulent anti-Black racism that permeates our society. Black Lives Matter is a unique contribution that goes beyond extrajudicial killings of Black people by police and vigilantes.
