Official Statement regarding the Justice Dialogue Series at Occupy Buffalo:

"We, the Occupy Buffalo Movement have come together to resist the injustice of the corporate domination of our political institutions.  Toward the end of changing these institutions so they are more responsive to our needs, we invite citizens of various levels of education (from eminent professors to earnest students) to contribute to and benefit from an on-going public discourse on the broad subject of justice.  We believe that the democratic process that the Occupy Movement has adopted carries great moral authority in its openness to all voices, its orientation towards peaceful relations, and its commitment to a pragmatic consensus.  However, our democratic process stands in need of knowledge and a vision of our common well-being.  This justice dialogue is dedicated to sharing our collective knowledge and developing a shared vision of a better future for all of us."

All talks are at Niagara Square.  Go to the Geodesic Dome in the event of inclement weather.
