Environmental+Justice

//hug a tree.//
The environmental justice group will fight global warming through creative local activism. We will develop cross-neighborhood alliances to work for clean energy in Chicago, learning a range of effective strategies and tactics, including community organizing, alliance-building, and artistic activism. The group will have the opportunity to address the issue of the coal-burning power plants that sicken Chicagoans, and to challenge the reluctance of lawmakers to pursue renewable energy.
 * Environmental Justice** in Chicago led by Shanti Elliott

We will partner with Little Village Environmental Justice Organization, Rudy Lozano Leadership Academy, and other schools to fight for the rights of all young people to grow up in a healthy world and an environmentally responsible city.
