About Us
Our mission is to organize with our community to accomplish environmental justice in Little Village and achieve the self-determination of immigrant, low-income, and working-class families.
Our Vision
Our vision is to build a sustainable community that promotes the healthy development of youth and families, provides economic justice, and practices participatory democracy and self-determination.
Our Values
LVEJO’s work is guided by the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing, a framework developed by environmental justice and community organizations to ground collective action in equity and self-determination.
How We Organize
LVEJO’s organizing model is grounded in three principles:
Intergenerational leadership that sustains community self-determination.
Those directly affected have the solutions to solve their own problems.
We build upon the existing assets and resources of the community for social change.
