DESCRIPTION:While it’s lovely that Earth Day is a universal day that everyone gathers 
 around with the intention of combating climate change, we need to make sure 
 that we are inclusive in our actions. Historically, Earth Day has been a 
 day in San Francisco where places like Golden Gate Park and Crissy Fields 
 are cleansed and cared for while low income communities of color, like 
 Bayview Hunters Point and Treasure Island, have been neglected by city, 
 state, and federal elected officials and agencies. With full consciousness, 
 the city is letting poor Black and Brown people die, allowing multiple 
 generations to live on radioactive land and breathe dirty air. Our civic 
 officials are complicit, silent, and indifferent about this because those 
 most impacted are Black, Brown, and poor. We need to reframe how we 
 celebrate this day with our actions. \n\nThis Earth Day, we call on those 
 in the climate justice movement to fight with us to demand the cleanup of 
 radioactive and toxic waste from our city. We call on those that recognize 
 that at the root of the issues we face as low-income people, Black, Brown, 
 Indigenous people, and as LGBTQ+ people, is a system profiting off of our 
 struggles. We call on San Francisco to acknowledge our plight with climate 
 injustice through actions. This Earth Day, join us at 10 AM at Civic Center 
 Bart Station to demand environmental and climate justice. \nWe demand the 
 San Francisco Board of Supervisors, Mayor Breed, the USEPA, State 
 Department of Toxic Substances Control, the State Water Quality Control 
 Board, and all elected officials for the: \n\n1. Retesting with independent 
 community oversight of Hunters Point Naval Shipyard Superfund site & 
 adjacent areas\n\n2. Full and comprehensive cleanup of all contamination 
 due to community vulnerability and due to the threat posed by rising sea 
 levels and groundwater rise\n\n3. Full reparations including financial 
 compensation and lifetime health services for all residents, ex-residents 
 and workers exposed and impacted by Shipyard contamination\n\nWe are taking 
 back Earth Day this 2022 to demand environmental and climate justice NOW in 
 the Bay Area & across the world. \n\nJoin Youth vs. Apocalypse, Greenaction 
 for Health & Environmental Justice & Marie Harrison Community Foundation & 
 Bayview Hunters Point Mothers & Fathers Committee in a powerful youth 
 climate strike & action for environmental & climate justice. \n
