Event Description
The Freshwater Lab and the Great Cities Institute co-hosted the Latino Environmental Justice Leadership Along Industrial Waterways event, featuring several prominent environmental justice leaders from Chicago and Joliet as event speakers. This event is part of a larger Crossing Latinidades Humanities Research Initiative.
We would like to send a big thank you to everyone who came to the event to be a part of the important and collective conversation around various environmental justice issues/actions in Chicago and the Greater Chicagoland Area. And of course, a special thanks to the panel speakers: Olga Bautista (from Southeast Environmental Task Force); Alfredo Romo (from Neighbors for Environmental Justice); Amy Sanchez (from Warehouse Workers for Justice); José Miguel Acosta Córdova (from Little Village Environmental Justice Organization); and Rose Gomez (from Pilsen Environmental Rights and Reform Organization) for coming to the event and sharing their powerful thoughts and perspectives on the topic matter.
