Challange 1:

Economic inequality. Economic inequality is the worst problem affecting Buffalo Niagara. Forty percent of households do not make enough to afford the cost of living. Yet, New York state is home to the largest concentration of the nation’s wealth. Due to systemic racism, economic inequality disproportionately impacts residents who are Black, Indigenous, and people of color. Effective poverty-fighting tools include minimum and living wage policies, progressive tax policies, support for labor organizing, well-funded public assistance programs, and protection from predatory lending and other exploitative practices.
