Those of us who were born in the United States, tend to take democracy for granted. People who emigrated to our shores from many other countries around the world, who lived under other types of governments, often take the preservation of our democracy even more seriously than we do because they have experienced what happens if we don’t elect the right people. This year our election is the most crucial it ever has been. At risk is democracy at its core, the planet as we know it, and the health and protection of our bodies.

Sierra Club is the most historic grassroots environmental organization in the country. For more than 130 years, we’ve gathered millions of activists and volunteers to fight for the places, people, and planet we all love. The CNNY (Central & Northern New York) Group encompasses seven counties and has about 2500 members. Our board of eleven people work diligently to follow the particular environmental issues affecting our region, such as protecting our water, lakes, open space, forests, air quality, pollution from fossil fuels, and environmental justice issues.
Join us to help protect our planet! It is educational, fun and inspiring to work with our group. We are currently focusing on of such issues as promotion of electric school buses, holding Micron accountable to build and run its new chips plant with as little harm to the environment as possible, solar farm projects and several other pressing issues.
