toxic tours
A 1.5 hour tour of the different sites in East Palo Alto that have a history
related to our fight for social and environmental justice. It includes
development projects that have caused people to lose their homes, sites
that have chemical contamination, and other struggles facing low-income,
people of color.
YUCA youth have developed toxic tours over the years through research
and reading, talking to community folks and doing organizing around the
issues. We then compiled our information into summaries or "stories"
so that we could take people around and show them a different side to
East Palo Alto .
**Primarily - for youth and community residents of East Palo Alto
**Secondarily - for others who want to know information about EPA
**Because EPA youth, not other folks from universities, media,
etc., put together all this information and are telling our own "truths"
about what's going on in our own community.
** To educate others, specifically EPA youth, about the bigger picture
of our community - the health and environmental impacts we live with everyday
but may not realize.
If you or your organization is interested in a toxic tour, give us a call
