Bayview Hunters Point residents live next to an abandoned Navy shipyard,
a sewage waste facility, a PG&E power plant and many other toxic waste
sites including one superfund site.
This neighborhood houses low-income families that are exposed to pollution,
poverty, asthma and cancer.
Women under 50 in Hunters Point have twice the rate of breast cancer
as women in the rest of the city.
Most impacted are the 12,000 residents who live East of Third Street.

  • Contamination Know Longer Discriminate! It also came to my home.I know longer live on the water out east in Suffolk County ,NY. Like You No One Wants to help us . So Refuse to take my Signs down and I will most likely go to jail because I speak the Truth. My name is Raw Sewage Injustice!

  • this is the real world. hopefully more people will began to understand it and stop worrying about fantasy. peace.

  • very good video, great message and quite powerful. thanks for sharing.

  • How appalling and this is alway the way they trick the communities with lies that it will help the community and yet no formal agreement is signed. Just empty promises from these developers and rotten politicians. Shame, real shame.

  • damn...

  • Powerful piece, Storm. Good work!
