PAST EVENTS:
Juneteenth Celebration; Grace Tabernacle Church, Bayview-Hunters Point, June 19, 2010: Fast becoming a growing annual celebration, especially in the African-American community, Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery. And this year, CIPL helped to coordinate a multi-sector accomplishment marked by the installation of a solar panel system on Grace Tabernacle. It was a true community party, shared by faith, labor, and local green jobs organizations. Click here for a write-up and to see inspiring photos from the event.
