WHEN: Saturday, September 21, 12 NOON

DETAILS:

In San Francisco, on September 21, 2013, at noon, environmental justice 
and climate activists will convene at the entrance to Heron''s Head Park 
with residents of Bayview Hunters Point and Treasure Island as part of a 
global day of action to ''Draw The Line'' to highlight severe local 
climate crisis impacts that will hit vulnerable neighborhoods all over 
the world.

Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice will join with 350 Bay 
Area, Treasure Island Health Network, San Francisco Green Party, Our 
City, and residents of Bayview Hunters Point and Treasure Island, to 
sound a warning on how the dangerous acceleration of climate warming 
will impact San Francisco''s local neighborhoods that are most 
vulnerable to sea rise caused by climate change. Cities all over the 
U.S. and the world will hold similar actions to call attention to their 
own looming local climate and sea rise impacts.

THE LOCAL ISSUE:

Because vast tracts of San Francisco''s Bayview Hunters Point and 
Treasure Island are at sea level on the San Francisco Bay and are also 
situated on or next to toxic and radioactively contaminated sites, as 
climate change progresses, these neighborhoods will be at high danger of 
a perfect storm of disastrous interactions between sea rise, earth quake 
liquefaction, tsunami vulnerability, and the toxic and radioactive 
contamination.
