ANCA goes woke

ANCA goes woke

RAQUETTE LAKE--The Adirondack North Country Association has gone woke. It happened when  more than 60 people participated in a discussion about New York State’s new Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) at the Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA) annual meeting last month. Meeting attendees gathered at Great Camp Sagamore on Friday, September 20 — the same day that over 4 million people attended Global Climate Strike events in over 150 countries all over the world.
At the heart of the meeting, invited State leaders — Amanda Lefton, First Secretary of Energy and the Environment in Governor Andrew Cuomo’s office and Mark Lowery, Climate Analyst for the Department of Conservation — gave presentations about the CLCPA and participated in a panel discussion moderated by ANCA board member Aaron Woolf.
"As the implementation roadmap for New York’s climate act takes shape, ANCA is deeply interested in how the transition toward a carbon-free future will benefit the region,” said ANCA Executive Director Kate Fish. “We are eager to work closely with State climate policy leaders and regional partners to develop a clean energy sector that aligns with our mission to build economic prosperity, self-reliance and resilience across the North Country.”
During her introductory comments, Fish explained how the clean energy economy is one of the four pillars of the regional nonprofit’s five-year strategic plan, which will be released in early 2020. Other major focus areas for the organization are regional food systems, the entrepreneurial economy and rural advocacy.
So now, ANCA which hopes to receive support from local governments, has joined the Democrat, Liberal, Progressive Socialist swamp in Albany.
