Arieann Harrison
Arieann Harrison
Arieann Harrison is the Founder and CEO of The Marie Harrison Community Foundation, Inc, for social and environmental justice in San Francisco's District 10, Bay View/Hunters Point area, which is the second largest Superfund in the U.S.
Arieann is a resident, community leader, and advocate for social and environmental justice for long-term residents who have suffered from high rates of cancer and respiratory illness caused by over 300 documented toxic sites located in the Bay View, like the PG&E, Recology (waste management), and San Francisco's sewage treatment plant, and the retired U.S. Navy's shipyard (home of the atomic bomb, where residents worked cleaning ships full of toxic and radioactive contamination left to seep into the soil and contaminate the air during clean-up for new housing.).
Arieann is working to educate and mobilize residents with solution-based tools to not only improve generational health problems brought on by long-term systemic social, economic, and environmental injustice, but also to find and use scientific and engineering long-term solutions to combat climate change, with transparent accountability to the community.
"You can't have environmental justice without social and economic equity."
#CanWeLlve Coalition
Arieann focuses on the science of the impact of historical genocide on residents in disenfranchised communities in the Bay View by systemic racial and economic injustice, as well as the move toward displacement of community residents still fighting to be heard by gentrification.
