Our Purpose

LexCAN’s overarching goal is to foster an engaged, climate-resilient Lexington populace by educating residents, advocating for bold environmental policies, and collaborating across a network of diverse community groups. By pairing municipal sustainability goals with grassroots, culturally attuned community organizing, we aim to ensure the health, financial, and resilience benefits of the clean energy transition is inclusive to all households, particularly non-native English speakers who face systemic information barriers
