A Latina single mom fights climate change by running for city council in her forgotten neighborhood.

Join Women Uprising as we celebrate the women who made A Good Neighbor for a pre-screening happy hour. We will be joined by film star Lucy Molina and co-directors Maggie Hart and Brittany Zampella at Bar Max on November 8th from 6:00 - 7:00.

"A Good Neighbor" follows Lucy Molina, a Latina single mother, as she battles racism and climate change while running for city council in the highly polluted area of Commerce City, Colorado. Facing numerous pollutants from an oil refinery, energy plant, and more, Lucy's family suffers health issues including migraines and cancer due to their toxic environment. Despite the community's limited resources and unheard voices, Lucy stands as a beacon of change, holding those responsible accountable.

Over a six-month campaign, the film showcases Lucy's determined efforts against well-funded opponents, highlighting her uphill struggle to engage the hesitant voters in her predominantly Latinx neighborhood.

"A Good Neighbor" sheds light on Commerce City's urgent issues, emphasizing the importance of local political engagement. Lucy's story serves as a catalyst for action, inspiring viewers to advocate for climate justice and reform while encouraging participation in local politics and elections.
