摘要

In Chicago's Latino communities, there's a long tradition of parents protesting for better schools and facilities. In fact, the neighborhood's environmental advocate, the Little Village Environmental Justice Organization (LVEJO), was formed in 1998 to voice concerns about lead dust at a local elementary school. Fourteen parents even went on a hunger strike in 2001 to demand that a promised high school be built, and the community's activism continues. Below is an interview with six members of LVEJO's youth branch, called Young Activists Organizing as Today's Leaders. Although these teens-identified here only by their first names-work on all kinds of campaigns, from gangs to public transportation, environmenta conditions at schools are never far from their minds. As one teen put it, "In this community, there has always been a struggle for good quality education and good facilities for schools."
