Friends, I am so proud of what we have been able to accomplish with this petition. It has been quoted or linked in several national media outlets including Huffington Post, Washington Post, and the New York Times. It has also been tweeted, and shared thousands of times on social media. Make no mistake. The public pressure we have exerted on Mr. Paladino and Ms. Elia has contributed to the Buffalo School Board's resolution seeking Mr. Paladino's resignation, as well local and national organizations filing formally with the Commissioner's Office to remove him. Public demonstrations in Buffalo's Niagara Square are currently underway, and will most certainly help our cause. If Mr. Paladino is still in office, here are additional demonstrations being planned for January, and links are below. Please consider joining the fight in person, and keep sharing until Mr. Paladino is no longer in office. https://www.facebook.com/events/257318821354296/ https://www.facebook.com/events/2197102700515189/ The support we've received from citizens of all political stripes is very encouraging as we enter a new administration. My hope is that we can build from our shared defense of American inclusiveness and fight racism in all aspects of public life. Happy New Year, Kevin Craig
