Through various programs and initiatives, CRLN aims to address issues such as immigration, human rights, and social justice. Their recent event, "Margarito's Forest: Expressions of Community, Survival, and Partnership," showcased the power of collaboration and highlighted the story of a Mayan community in Guatemala and their partnership with University Church in Chicago.
