A MESSAGE FROM Carli's Fundraising Page
I will be running the BOA Chicago Marathon on October 13, 2024. I am raising funds for LVEJO- The Little Village Environmental Justice Organization! Any donation you are able to make will support this organization's amazing work and help me get to my first 26.2 Miles!
LVEJO has many ongoing environmental justice and mutual-aid efforts that support frontline communities and families, including those from the school I work at. Your donation will support:
🌱Creating and maintaining a community garden in Little Village for residents to grow and share their own produce and hold community events (which many of my students and their families are a part of!)
🌱Growing organic and locally grown produce in La Villita Park Community Farm that will be redistributed to families in the community and mutual aid programs
🌱Installing new air monitors in frontline communities to advance the collection of air pollution data that will demand policy changes to prioritize the health of these neighborhoods
and so much more!
🌱Hosting new cohorts for the Stewards of the Land (SOL) Youth Stewardship Program with new skill-building and professional development opportunities for youth leaders
🌱Generating new resources to address the urban flooding and water justice issues of Chicago
Supporting a new cohort for LVEJO’s Solar Workforce Development Program that certifies students for jobs in the renewable energy field
🌱Advancing environmental justice policies from a local to a national level
And so much more! Here is the link to their website to get more involved in their mission and work:
THANK YOU!!!
