We advocate for the eradication of toxic sites along the Richmond shoreline for all residents regardless of race, class, gender, and sexuality. We acknowledge that environmental injustices, such as frontline communities being disproportionately burdened by toxic exposures, are inextricably linked with the social, economic, and structural disparities in our society. The Richmond Shoreline Alliance is dedicated to including and amplifying the diverse voices of all Richmond residents impacted by toxic sites along the Richmond shoreline. We acknowledge that the site and the work we do is on occupied Xučyun Ohlone Land.
