Peace with the Land, Justice among Ourselves

<p><br /> <span><span class="il">I'm</span></span> a student at the College of Urban Planning/Public Affairs at U of Illinois-Chicago. I'm the youth organizer for Chicago Fair Trade (<a href="http://www.chicagofairtrade.org">www.chicagofairtrade.org</a>) working on the Fair Trade Schools project. I also&nbsp;work as a journalist and media-justice activist with Radio Arte (<a href="http://www.wrte.org/" target="_blank">www.wrte.org</a>), a community media center in Pilsen. I'm also an editor with AREA Chicago (<a title="" href="http://www.areachicago.org" target="">www.areachicago.org</a>). I like to cook and play soccer aside from my community organizing around issues of environmental, economic, and food justice.</p>
