The residents of Bayview Hunters Point, a low-income, working class community of color in southeast San Francisco, have been embroiled in a decades-long struggle to get a full clean up of the many sources of pollution in their neighborhood, including radioactive and toxic contamination at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard Superfund site and dozens of other contaminated sites along the waterfront and throughout the community.
Terra Verde host and Earth Island Journal editor Maureen Nandini Mitra discusses the latest developments in this ongoing saga for environmental justice with community resident Kamillah Ealom and Bradly Angel of Greenaction, an environmental group that focuses on building community power to fight environmental injustice, and investigative reporter Greg Schwartz of the Anthropocene Alliance, a national coalition of frontline communities fighting for climate and environmental justice.
