The Neighborhood for Environmental Justice (N4EJ) is a group that works to promote environmental justice on Chicago's Southwest side, and the Wikipedia entry for the organization has a lot of interesting information about it. Whilst the article might be enhanced in a few places, here are a few:

Relevance of the content: The article might use greater attention to the N4EJ itself, as the majority of the text concentrates on other environmental justice organizations in the Chicago region. While highlighting collaborations and establishing context is useful, the article's main focus should be on the N4EJ and its particular initiatives and successes.

History: The clarity and arrangement of the history section might be improved. Instead of condensing details about many organizations into one section, it would be useful to provide a clear timeline of important occasions and turning points in the N4EJ's history.

Equality issues: The article does a decent job covering equity issues related to environmental justice, especially when talking about the N4EJ's initiatives to address pollution and other environmental issues in historically disadvantaged neighborhoods. It could be improved, though, if additional details were provided about the specific effects that these problems have on marginalized communities and how the N4EJ's efforts are contributing to their resolving.

In general, I would advise updating the article to put more of an emphasis on the N4EJ and its particular initiatives, give a clearer history of the group, and include more details on how the N4EJ's work addresses equity gaps connected to environmental justice.
