Members of Evanston Fight for Black Lives and the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago discussed plans to create a sustainable community garden and freshwater conservation in the Great Lakes region at a virtual panel Friday.
The event was part of Citizens’ Greener Evanston’s “Earth Week for Everyone” series, which took place Thursday through Saturday in honor of Earth month. EFBL organizer Emma Barreto said she wants sustainable living to be a community project rather than an individual one.
For EFBL, sustainability means building a community garden in a vacant lot in the Fifth Ward. Barreto, along with fellow EFBL organizer Maia Robinson, said they would use the garden to grow food and flowers and create a space for community engagement.

KPLC 7News Nightcast - Feb 24 - Sports - McNeese Women s Basketball 2.24.21 By McNeese Sports Information | February 24, 2021 at 10:51 PM CST - Updated February 24 at 10:51 PM
LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - McNeese womenâs basketball couldnât overcome cold shooting and foul trouble in the second half here Wednesday night in its 65-49 Southland Conference loss to Southeastern Louisiana.
After shooting 50 percent (13 of 26) from the field in the first half, McNeese (6-11, 6-4 SLC) struggled from the field in the second half to shoot just. 14.3 percent (4 of 28). The Cowgirls complicated matters even more by having four players foul out including its two leading scorers in Divine Tanks and Kyla Hamilton. Both players led McNeese with 12 points on the night while Claralee Richard chipped in 10 points. Also fouling out was Maia Robinson and Whitney Johnson.
Evanston Fight for Black Lives organizer Maia Robinson said she wants all community members to feel a “sense of pride” over the community fridge EFBL will install in the upcoming weeks as well as a responsibility to take care of it.
As a form of mutual aid, she said the guiding principle for the fridge is to “leave what you can, take what you need.”
“It’s not trying to point out who’s the one in need and who’s the one volunteering,” Robinson said. “That, to me, is what mutual aid is, doing whatever you can to take care of the community. That fits well with abolition, because the whole foundation of abolition is to look after one another and not depend on the state or the government to do life-affirming things. They should, but if they’re not doing it, we can do it ourselves. We can take care of one another.”
