Stand Up for Recovery Day Summary

If it's Recovery...We ARE THERE!!!

What: Stand Up for Recovery 
Where: Took place February 11, 2020 @ Empire State Plaza, Albany, NY
Why: On behalf of millions impacted by addiction, Friends of Recovery New York (FOR-NY), the statewide Recovery Community Organization (RCO) and it's affilliate county RCO's are committed to educating decision makers. We call for the end of discrimination that blocks access to treatment, housing, employment, education and community-based recovery supports.

Tim Bax, Al Robinson and Donna Potter, your Buffalo -Greater Erie representatives, in the past have stood with Senator George Amedore Jr. and 2020 found us visisting Senator Chris Jacobs & Senators Gallivan & Kennedy to share the need to change the way we think about recovery.

Thank you to ALL of our WNY participants, individually and through collaborations, that make this ONE VOICE loud and clear!!! We LOVE YOU
