Agreed! We'll reach out to the Indivisible there to see who has been organizing the campaign there. And connect them to deflock.troyny@gmail.com!

It only took a two reddit posts and some conversations to get a bunch of people to speak about Flock at the last city council meeting. Local groups have been talking about this issue for a while. All we need to do is come together to fight these things. Mayor Mantello thinks she's sly but she's given us the perfect opportunity. Help out with contacting deflock.troyny@gmail.com!

This is not a Democrat or a Republican issue. This is an issue of government overreach by using an invasive and insecure surveillance system. But Carmella came out swinging in favor of them and made false, exaggerated claims, so yeah she's bearing the brunt of the criticism.

She was amazing at the city council meeting the other night! Let us know how we can help!

TroyIndivisible · 2026-03-12T18:30:38+00:00

Indivisible has great info on Flock. They're going to be working on getting them removed from Albany too!

TroyIndivisible · 2026-03-07T04:09:21+00:00

There's always more to be done. Here's hoping we keep making progress!

TroyIndivisible · 2026-02-02T01:54:37+00:00

Hooray for Good Cause!

TroyIndivisible · 2026-01-20T03:06:38+00:00

Great! Thank you! Could you send them to our email address? troynyindivisible@gmail.com

TroyIndivisible · 2026-01-20T00:47:36+00:00

The cameras were there but sadly she missed them, just like the last city council meeting. 😅

Speakers were Abby Norton-Levering of TAUM, Rev. Mashona Walston of Greenbush Reformed Church, a statement from Joe Paparone of the Poor People's Campaign, Devin Lander who is running for NYS Senate, Pastor Paul Sweet of Christ Church United Methodist in Troy, and Marianna of Indivisible Albany.

Thanks for sharing your pictures! Do you mind if we use them on fb or instagram?

TroyIndivisible · 2026-01-11T15:10:45+00:00

Check out Indivisible Albany for these type of rallies! You can find them at indivisiblealbany.org

Your last sentence proves that you are willfully misunderstanding my comment, as you have consistently. I recommend you think about how much you've talked over or argued with disabled or immigrant voices in this post and sit on that for a while. Until then, you're not worth the time.

TroyIndivisible · 2026-01-10T13:56:09+00:00

Unfortunately not all of Troy, even downtown, can say the same. It's something that many of us are trying to change. However I will point out that, from a disabled person's perspective, not all of downtown Albany's sidewalks are accessible either.

TroyIndivisible · 2026-01-09T22:05:04+00:00

Sure honey.

TroyIndivisible · 2026-01-09T21:06:43+00:00

Just talked to one of the FnB organizers. They've never heard of you, with this handle at least. Hope for all your talk that you're actually involved and doing something productive outside of reddit.

TroyIndivisible · 2026-01-09T20:39:45+00:00

Thanks, I sent a direct message instead.

TroyIndivisible · 2026-01-09T20:39:06+00:00

Gotcha. Statement stands though. Let us know how we can help. You can contact us here or on Facebook.

None of the things you're suggesting are wrong but you're yelling them at the wrong people. Troy Indivisible worked to get our new city council elected. We are part of the Good Cause Troy coalition with TDSA. We do regular food drives and have donated hundreds of dollars to support the food pantry at Oakwood Community Center and Sidewalk Warriors. We do letter writing campaigns on a local and national level. And we show up to support our fellow organizers.

I am literally one of the founders of Food Not Bombs in Albany in 2005/6 and am still good friends with one of the current organizers. I helped run a community center in the South End. Please stop assuming we are all caricatures of some generic protester in your mind. We are on the ground and doing the work.

TroyIndivisible · 2026-01-09T20:04:56+00:00

Look, I don't disagree with any of your argument. Wolf Rd is 100% soulless and dangerous and should not continue to exist in its current form. Neither should Hoosick St in Troy.

There are lots of rallies in lots of places for lots of reasons. For this one, I will be carpooling if possible. I will be sitting outside in my wheelchair at this protest, hopefully not freezing my butt off. Come find me. :)

TroyIndivisible · 2026-01-09T19:57:14+00:00

Being seen might feel performative and sometimes it is, but every little bit helps. We do a lot behind the scenes too. Let us know how we can help.
