Mark Talley Biography

Mark Talley is the visionary founder and Executive Director of Agents For Advocacy, an impactful non-profit born from a personal tragedy—the loss of his mother in a domestic terrorist attack in Buffalo, NY, on May 14, 2022. In her memory and to combat ignorance, Mark authored "5/14: The Day the Devil Came to Buffalo", a poignant narrative launched on the first anniversary of the tragedy.

His compelling journey has led him across the media landscape, featuring on MSNBC, ABC, CNN, and Vice News, and to podiums nationwide, delivering over 40 speeches on systemic racism, socioeconomic disparities, and gun violence. Now, Mark seeks to further his mission advocating for a society rooted in justice and equality.
