The long-neglected water system in Marin City is one of the most vulnerable to climate-driven flooding in the Bay Area. Nearly 3,000 people — 63% people of color — live there.

"Marin City is like a bathtub with only one drain.” – @kzhill, @UCBerkeley. "Marin City has flooded for over 80 years."

Terrie Harris-Green, executive director for Marin City Climate Resilience and Health Justice, has fought for environmental justice for this community for decades.

“It comes to race. It comes down to it.”

On Thursday morning, the M2.9 tremor on the Hayward Fault shook areas in Berkeley and nearby areas at 2:41 a.m. according to @USGS.

This is just 2 days after 2 #earthquakes of more than M4in Santa Rosa.

We're all probably wondering: when's the Big One?

A thread ⤵️ In 2019, Peggy Hellweg from @UCBerkeley said that there's minor earthquake activity occurring almost continuously along the Hayward Fault, though most of it goes unnoticed.

There are 138 contaminated sites in West Oakland that either have never been cleaned up, or are in some state of active remediation.

"These are environmental health issues that need to be addressed now," said UC Berkeley's @rmfrosch, Toxic Tides.

@ezraromero has the story 🧵: The toxic waste and pollution in West Oakland are a result of the legacy of racism in housing, economic and other policies over decades. Residents didn't consent to living in these conditions.

"There's tons of pollutants, or toxics, in the ground."—Margaret Gordon, @WOEIP
