About this event
Join the Environmental Law & Policy Center, Alliance of the Southeast, and Friends of the Parks for a behind-the-scenes look at how community power, legal strategy, and sustained advocacy stopped a proposed 25-foot-high vertical toxic waste dump on Chicago’s Southeast Side lakefront.
This conversation will explore how an alliance of neighborhood organizations, civic groups, and environmental attorneys came together to defeat a misguided plan that would have further endangered an environmental justice community and Lake Michigan’s shoreline. Now, that same site will be restored and transformed into a public park.
