OUR GOALS

This year, we will continue to live by our values and ensure that our public dollars are not being used to support racism.

Our goals:

1. Challenge bigotry at county fairs that invite vendors to sell and profit from Confederate flags and other racist merchandise

2. In accordance with New York State law, ensure that no local, state, or federal funds support fairs that support racism. Signed in late 2020, the law sponsored by NYS Senator Alessandra Biaggi empowers the state agricultural commissioner to “take any measures necessary to prohibit the sale, on the grounds of the state fair and any other fairs that receive government funding, of symbols of hate.” 

3. Promote community dialog and education about race, racism, and the history and impact of colonialism on marginalized people through events and activities
