Our work as neighbors is not limited to the riverbank. Just like the prairie’s ecosystem – our neighborhood’s health relies on that of the community around it. Throughout its history, Riverbank Neighbors has been proud to engage in a variety of movements and campaigns calling for environmental, climate and social justice.
