On Friday, Oct. 6, during Navy Fleet Week, the people will tell the Navy, "Clean up your mess! Remove the toxic landfill now!"
Rally for Hunters Point Shipyard Cleanup!
Friday, Oct. 6, 5 p.m., Justin Herman Plaza, San Francisco
(Foot of Market Street, across from Ferry Building - Embarcadero BART
Station). It is "Fleet Week", which means the Navy is in town along the
port (and that jets will be flying over the city making you feel like
we are in a war zone).

A fire burning in a toxic, radioactive landfill at the Hunters Point
Shipyard since Aug. 16 is poisoning this Black neighborhood, where cancer
and asthma rates are already some of the highest in the world. The Navy
can't put the fire out but plans to wait two years before deciding what to
do. During Navy Fleet Week, the people tell the Navy, "Clean up your mess!
Remove the toxic landfill now!"

Rally organizers include Community First Coalition, San Francisco Bay View
newspaper, Bayview Advocates, Ujamaa, Global Exchange, Communities for a
Better Environment, Arc Ecology, Greenaction, Rainforest Action Network,
Media Alliance, Marie Harrison for Supervisor Campaign, Mission Agenda,
Mission Anti-displacement Coalition, P.O.W.E.R., Literacy for Environmental
Justice, Abalone Alliance Safe Energy Clearinghouse and more coming in by
the minute.

Buses leave for the rally from Third St. and Oakdale in Hunters Point at
4:30 p.m.
