Meet Tony Buba and Jan McMannis

North Braddock Residents for Our Future

Tony: I have been working with my community since I returned from college in 1976.

Jan: I am a member of NBRFOF because we are a grassroots group fighting to stop the continuing exploitation of the residents of the Mon Valley by unbridled capitalistic forces that care more about profits than people and the environment. I have lived and volunteered in Braddock and Braddock Hills since 1985.
