Assessing the burden of toxic industries on Little Village

The Little Village Environmental Justice Organization (LVEJO) is well known for decades of environmental victories in Chicago, from the 2012 closure of a coal power plant to the 2013 conversion of a Superfund site into a community park. These days, LVEJO members are setting their sights on the neighborhood's polluted industrial riverfront. Associate Chloe Gurin-Sands and former Research Assistant Hanna Udischas explain how LVEJO is undertaking community-led health research that may alter the river's future in La Villita.
