General Advocacy

  • Research and learn more about these chemical release sites, how chemical contamination of the env works, how it can affect human health, and who is impacted the worst  
  • Spread the word that this is something that can impact us in the Bay Area 
  • Donate time and/or money to groups who are fighting for Env Justice, healthy environments, and corporate accountability 
  • ​If someone is moving to the Bay Area, suggest they search the property with the research tools first 
  • ​If you're not already aware, spend some timing reading about the public health crisis in Treasure Island and Bayview-Hunters Point in San Francisco ​
  • ​Tell the press you want to see more coverage on these topics 
  • Volunteer with and/or donate to Greenaction or ICRT​​

If You're Concerned 

  • Contact the agencies in charge and ask questions about nearby sites 
  • Talk to CHEJ Technical Assistance if you want help understanding the science from a 3rd party 
  • Talk to your political representatives about Brownfield reform and/or Env Justice 
  • Share your concerns with your friends and on social media, forums, etc.
  • Request Leadership Training from CHEJ (founded by Lois Gibbs, who advocated for protection from the Love Canal pollution, and that advocacy created the EPA Superfund program)  ​
  • If you're aware of illegal chemical dumping in Santa Clara County, report it! 
This is not a complete list. These are merely some ideas.
