Peggy Shepard, nationally recognized for her ground-breaking environmental justice work in West Harlem, continues to pioneer powerful ways of engaging communities and creating change on issues that affect environmental quality of life—issues such as air, water and indoor pollution, land use, sanitation, transportation and citizen participation in policy making.
Please join the Healthy Schools Campaign and the Illinois African-American Coalition for Prevention (ILAACP) to hear from Shepard about the tremendous successes and continued battles for social and environmental justice in urban minority communities, and to discuss community organizing around health disparities in Chicago’s African-American and Latino communities.
