The Adirondack Diversity Initiative (ADI), in partnership with ANCA, invites North Country community members join us for a series of Listen-ins & Teach-ins focused on activating, mobilizing and engaging our community on issues of racial equity and transformational justice in America.  

Each session in the ADI’s Antiracism Education and Mobilization Campaign. will provide language, tools, techniques, and most importantly strategies to identify, understand, and build more racially just and equitable communities in the North Country.

Read the press release for more information about the campaign and the variety of opportunities offered during the summer of 2020 for education and engagement.
