DONATE NOW – Running for an Environmentally-Just Chicago

This year, Equipo Colibri will be running to raise funds for 2 amazing programs at LVEJO.

1) Youth Leadership Program,12 summer interns will be working along LVEJO organizers to engage and educate community members about LVEJO’s Clean water and Air campaigns.

2) Semillas de Justicia Community Garden, one of La Villita’s hidden gems and where families and avid urban gardeners gather through the growing season to share and learn from each other.
