Latino Cultural Center Earth Month 2025 Events
Join the UIC Latino Cultural Center in honoring Earth Month via our engaging public program series. This year’s theme, “Another World is Happening,” aims to highlight the critical resistance and ground work being done by local communities amidst a dire climate crisis. Through an environmental justice (EJ) perspective, this program series serves as a way to envision and act toward a more just environmental future. We will highlight the current EJ work and organizing currently being done by our local Chicago communities.
These programs are free and open to all audiences at the Latino Cultural Center, Lecture Center B2.
