Treasure Island
"Treasure Island is located in San Francisco Bay and is a man-made island filled with beautiful views, but on this Island it is what you cannot see that might harm you. Formerly the site for a US Navy Base, the land is contaminated with radioactive and hazardous wastes from military operations. Treasure Island’s residents are living in subsidized housing just feet from toxic and radioactive waste, this is a violation of environmental human rights and justice." [Greenaction: link]

Bayview - Hunters Point
"Bayview Hunters Point (BVHP) is a low-income community of color located on San Francisco Bay in southeast San Francisco. The residents and environment of BVHP are disproportionately impacted by many stationary and mobile pollution sources, including radioactive and toxic contamination at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard Superfund site and dozens of other contaminated sites along the waterfront and throughout the community."
