Bayview Hunters Point residents will speak out at a press conference Tuesday, September 1st at 11:30 am to send Mayor London Breed and the Board of Supervisors a clear message that City Hall must stop systemic environmental racism, pollution and displacement that are every bit as deadly as police shootings of George Floyd and so many other unarmed black people.
Residents will specifically demand that City Hall and other government agencies:
Clean up radioactive and toxic waste at the Hunters Point Shipyard Superfund Site and other contaminated areas in the community, and Stop upscale developments that would pollute and displace people of color, including Lennar’s Shipyard development and the India Basin Mixed Use Development.
Please note: Car Caravan Protest that had been planned is postponed to a later date due to the unhealthy air quality from the wildfires.

For virtual action, please sign this petition!
