Help secure funding for mural restorations!

You can help one of CPAG's mural partners, Latino United Community Housing Association (LUCHA), compete for funding to restore two historic murals, Rompiendo las Cadenas and Honor Boricua.

LUCHA asks that you visit this link http://www.refresheverything.com/humboldtparkchicago and vote early and often daily between now and May 31!

You can also powervote: If you see any yellow Pepsi caps, please save them. There is a code underneath that enables you to have up to 100 extra votes. These will secure LUCHA a win!
