San Diego leaders are demanding California take urgent action to address the catastrophic environmental crisis caused by sewage and industrial pollution flowing from the Tijuana River. This preventable humanitarian disaster poisons vulnerable communities, suffocates marine life, and represents a shocking failure to protect basic human rights and environmental integrity.
San Diego leaders are demanding California take stronger action to address an environmental crisis caused by wastewater and industrial pollution flowing from the Tijuana River into their communities. This is a horrifying betrayal of fundamental human rights and environmental justice that demands immediate, decisive action from every level of government.
Billions of gallons of Mexican sewage pouring into the Tijuana River are poisoning the air, water, and communities of South San Diego, causing widespread illness, beach closures, and economic harm. This ongoing, bipartisan failure to secure a fundamental human right—clean air and water—for American citizens living along our own border is a disgraceful dereliction of duty and a profound public health betrayal.
