Gage Park Latinx Council

Rooted in Gage Park. Driven by Social Justice.

We create spaces for healing, creativity, and resistance. By centering the experiences of Queer, Immigrant, and Latinx individuals, we transform our neighborhood through mutual aid and popular education, dismantling systems of harm to build a community of care.
