Jill Fox


When Jill Fox moved to India Basin 15 years ago, what are now Heron's Head and India Basin Shoreline Parks were junk yards where people and dogs lived in cars, and plans were being made to put a power plant on the flats off of Fitch Street. Then, the neighbors started getting together to create a common goal for a better neighborhood. Community activism has already made ours a more livable neighborhood and can continue to assure responsible development. Jill is a founding member of the India Basin Neighborhood Association and has represented the neighborhood on the RAB, PROSAC and Blue Greenway Task Force. She is also a wife, mom, PTA officer, and the Communications Coordinator for the SF Department of Children, Youth and Their Families.

  Wendy Brummer

Wendy Brummer is a founding member of the Innes Avenue Coalition, which was later renamed India Basin Neighborhood Association.   She's a firm believer in the power of folks getting together to stand up for what they want in their own neighborhood.  A gardener and a granola-eating environmentalist, Wendy started her environmental activism in Madison, Wisconsin in the anti-nuke movement. In Hunter’s Point in 1994, she was instrumental in creating an organization, the Southeast Alliance for Environmental Justice, to fight the largest independent power producer in the world in its attempt to build a new power plant on the shore of India Basin. The coalition of neighborhood and environmental groups worked diligently for two years and was successful in completely defeating the proposal. In 1996, Wendy and her family opened "Zac's Rocket Café" at the corner of Earl and Innes in order to demonstrate to SF Redevelopment the type of neighborhood services the neighbors wanted in their area. Neighbors would gather on Saturday mornings for Innes Avenue Coalition meetings over pastries and coffee. The business was successful and served artists and businesses in the Shipyard, neighbors from all over the Bayview and Hunter’s Point, and members of the San Francisco SWAT team who worked in the shipyard as well. During this time, Wendy spearheaded a tree planting project on Innes Avenue with Friends of the Urban Forest, and pushed PG&E for undergrounding of the utilities on Innes. Wendy has served on many community boards throughout the years: The BVHP Health & Environmental Assessment Project (founding member), the Bayview Merchants Association, Restoration Advisory Board for the Hunter’s Point Shipyard, the Southeast Wastewater Advisory Committee, the Third Street Lightrail Citizens’ Advisory Committee, the Pesticide Reduction Taskforce, the Lead Hazard Prevention Task Force, BVHP Network for Elders, the Southern Waterfront Advisory Committee, the Bayview Rotary, the Bayview Historical Society, and Literacy for Environmental Justice. Wendy currently resides in the Mission District of San Francisco in a compound of four families with her two children, her dog and her cat, but misses the tenacious neighbors and the amazing view of India Basin as the seasons come and go.
