[Sustain] MEDIA ADVISORY - Sep 21, SF, CA Press Conference - Sea Rise & Toxics Perfect Storm, Bayview & Treasure Island - 350 Bay Area, Greenaction
by Eric Brooks 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Please pass this on to spread the word: MEDIA ADVISORY - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 18, 2013 - Event September 21, 2013 Contact: Eric Brooks, (415)-756-8844 ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE & CLIMATE ACTIVISTS TO DRAW THE LINE CONNECTING SEA LEVEL RISE, EARTHQUAKE & TSUNAMI DANGERS, & LOCAL TOXIC WASTE SITES PRESS CONFERENCE, PHOTO/VIDEO OPPORTUNITY WHO: Organizers from Greenaction, 350 Bay Area, Treasure Island Health Network (TIHN), SF Green Party, Our City, & Residents of the Bayview Hunters Point & Treasure Island VISUALS: Rally Signs with Climate Crisis Messages, and Large Banner reading: STOP CLIMATE CHANGE! SEA RISE + TOXIC SITES = DESTROYED NEIGHBORHOODS SPEAKERS: Greenaction, 350 SF, TIHN, Bayview & Treasure Island Residents, SF Green Party WHERE: Entrance to Heron's Head Park, Jennings Street & Cargo Way (near 3rd & Evans Muni T-Line Stop), San Francisco, CA 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.
