Barry Hermanson wrote: This 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, Black, Brown, Indigenous and LGBTQ-plus 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 a.m. at the Civic Center BART Station to demand environmental and climate justice.
