[S-C] Big Greenaction Updates - Victories in Gila River Indian Community, East Palo Alto and Actions in Bayview Hunters Point

[Bradley Angel]

It has been an incredible few months of action and victories for
environmental justice.  The last month has seen two truly historic victories
with the closing of the dangerous hazardous waste facilities run by polluter
"Romic Environmental Technologies" on the Gila River Indian Community in
Arizona and in East Palo Alto, California. These victories were won by the
united effort of the Gila River Alliance for a Clean Environment, Youth
United for Community Action and Greenaction - and many friends and allies.
Together we pressured this giant corporation to close their polluting
facilities and forced state and federal officials to take action to
terminate Romic's permits, bringing a successful end to years of organizing.

Environmental Justice that targeted problems with the toxic cleanups going
on at the now-closed PG&E Hunters Point power plant site and the Hunters
Point Naval Shipyard.  You can also read about our new campaigns and new
