Join us for our Fall Encuentro, el otono y arsenico en arroz! Our Sustainable Communities Program is about addressing those things that contribute to equitable and environmentally sustainable communities we live, work, and play in. As we address environmental issues such as poor air quality due to carbon emission, access to equitable renewable energy resources such as wind and solar energy we also look at the built environment and increasingly at the foods that we have access to! One of my favorite memories of fall as a child was eating a warm bowl of arroz con leche y canale that my abuela would make for us as a treat!  That brings us to the hot topic of our Encuentro Arroz! GreenLatinos was an anchor partner that contributed to this study on arsenic in rice.

Join VerdeLatinos y Warehouse Workers for Justice for an evening of community, conversation, and connection over free food and drinks. We'll discuss why energy bills are so high, the growing impact of data centers, and the legislation designed to help households save on energy costs. Plus, learn how we can advance a fair, sustainable transportation system in Illinois—one that funds and reforms public transit, supports electrification, and reduces pollution in our communities.
