Fieldwork+Day+-+Sept+17+-+Environmental+Justice

...came up with a very funny group story this morning involving police robbing blockbusters, the Cubs liberating the animals in the zoo, and ecoterrorists bringing down the power grid. I loved getting locked out of the fieldhouse -- the field was perfect, even with all the noise! We went to the Social Justice School in Little Village and students presented their Environmental Injustice in Little Village power point and discussed how to build a cross-Chicago student alliance for renewable energy in Chicago. Then we went with Little Village Environmental Justice Oranization staff on the "toxic tour" of Little Village. One student wore a dustmask; everybody felt throat and eyes burning and many covered their noses with their shirts and wondered what it would be like to live with the pollution all the time. There's a lot more to tell, but I'll leave it for later -- I"m wiped out! How were things with you all? -- shanti p.s. the shirts -- and shells! -- were awesome! Great going!
