Last Wednesday N4EJ’s working group - Chicago’s Coalition to End Sacrifice Zones (CCESZ) - held a pop-up coffee chat at Base Community Cafe in Bridgeport.
We got to chat with folks from the neighborhood about the different environmental areas we focus on, the current state and city-level campaigns intending to make environmental improvements, ano how they can take action in their communities!
We’d like to thank our friends at Base Community Cafe for hosting our team for this event. Thank you also to our amazing partners at LVEJO, ASE, CEJN, and lEC for helping to plan and lead this event.

We thank the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for participating in a meaningful Environmental Justice walking tour of McKinley Park last week.

During the visit, we introduced students to N4EJ’s history, current campaigns, and main priorities. They examined the neighborhood in person during a site visit, identifying both challenges and opportunities.

Participants from Little Village, Bridgeport, and other parts of the City and State saw firsthand how residents deal with daily exposure to polluted air near MAT Asphalt and along three major truck routes. They also gained awareness of N4EJ’s crucial air monitoring work on the southwest side.

Want to bring this impactful tour to your class or organization? Reach out to us at [email protected] to arrange an inspiring Environmental Justice experience.

Do you ever smell bad fumes in your neighborhood and wonder what you’re smelling and how it’s impacting your health? N4EJ is co-hosting a health teach-in where you will be able to learn about what is in the air from environmental health scientists.

In collaboration with UIC CACHET and Stand up for Science, N4EJ is hosting a hybrid Stand up for Science environmental health teach-in on Thursday, February 19th from 6-8pm at N4EJ's office building - 3700 S Iron st and via Zoom.

This event will feature environmental health scientists discussing the health impacts of pollution from nearby facilities, like MAT Asphalt, and what we can do about these pollutants.

You can join us in person or on Zoom. Spanish interpretation will be offered and dinner will be provided! We hope to see you there!
