SUMMARY:Pedal for Peace 2023
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Condensed / Smaller\nPedal for Peace 2023 Celebration\n\n(You can download our flyers below) \nAs we approach the end of summer\, CRLN enters a period of transition. Change can be both positive and necessary\, but what remains unchanged is CRLN’s unwavering commitment to the liberation of the people of Latin America. Our work persists\, it is part of our collective resistance and is driven by solidarity and our actions. \nThis year\, the Pedal for Peace project will take on a more condensed format compared to previous years. Rest assured\, we’ll still be bikes\, as well as walking and running in our barrios. While it may not be as elaborate as before\, our partner organizations – Centro Romero\, Chicago-Cinquera Sister Cities\, Chicago-Guatemala Partnership\, and Concern America – are looking forward to a celebration of friendship and solidarity. And yes\, we will continue to raise funds for our ongoing projects. \nWe kindly invite you to make a donation by clicking here. \nJoin us on Sunday\, September 17\, at 11 am on the north side of Chicago\, at Emmerson (Louis) Park (1820 W Granville Ave.). The event will be two hours of biking\, running\, walking\, and communal celebration. We have a brief program planned\, which will start at 11am and wrap up around 1 pm. Following this\, we will migrate a few blocks to Centro Romero (6216 N Clark St.) for refreshments\, poetry readings\, and to continue celebrating our friendship and solidarity. \nIf you have any questions\, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at jgomez@crln.org. \ns\ns\nEn solidaridad y resistencia permanente\, \nJhonathan F. Gómez \n   \n
