Project snapshot
D39 Youth Leadership Council (YLC): The YLC partners with Street Lab and the Bangladeshi Ladies Club to deliver at least three civic pop-up activations addressing environmental, reproductive, and immigrant justice. Activities include Know Your Rights workshops, a clothing swap and menstrual product drive to promote a local circular economy and combat period poverty, public mending and oral-history collection, and production of a final art piece (film/zine) documenting events and resources. The project advances youth civic engagement, community resilience, cultural preservation, and sustainable consumption in underserved neighborhoods.
