I attended an anti-environmental racism rally in front of the Pacific Gas & Electric power plant in Bayview-Hunter's Point today, despite the rain. Anything that affects Black folks in this town affects me, so I'm down with helping the residents of that neighbourhood do whatever it takes to close down the source of their nightly nosebleeds, asthma & cancer. On top of that, the Black residents of Bayview-Hunter's Point also have to contend with S.F. city government's "community-driven" redevelopment plans that don't include them [building an additional train-line through 3rd Street, plans to destroy the housing projects that have been there for decades & replacing them with new, overly-expensive houses & building another 49ers football team stadium]. I'll help them in that fight as well. This town already has enough fucking Yuppies in it! Besides getting groceries & getting rained on, I also went to see "The Notorious Bettie Page" with my 2 roommates at some theatre in Nob Hill. For free [with a xeroxed pass]. I almost didn't go, but my roommate talked me into it.
