Greenwashing Kamala Harris: How The Veep Casts Herself As An Environmental Justice Crusader
Greenwashing Kamala Harris: How The Veep Casts Herself As An Environmental Justice Crusader Authored by Lee Fang via RealClearInvestigations , Vice President Kamala Harris has long cast herself as a fearless pioneer of efforts to fight for social and environmental justice. “ When I was elected DA of San Francisco, ” Harris told a gathering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta last year, “ I started the first environmental justice unit of any DA’s office in the country .” In her telling , the San Francisco District Attorney formed the special environmental justice unit in the early 2000s especially to protect the long-neglected community of Bayview Hunters Point, a predominantly African American and impoverished part of the city, which had become “a dumping ground for people from other places.” In dozens of speeches and interviews in recent years, Harris has bragged that she went “after polluters” and protected minority communities in San Francisco in novel ways as a local prosecutor.
