Alabama artist Michelle Browder, pictured, is in town working at San Franciscoâs Box Shop in Hunters Point to build a 15-foot public monument, âMothers of Gynecology.â The sculpture will honor Anarcha, Betsey and Lucy, enslaved women from plantations in and around Montgomery, Ala., who were experimented on in the 1840s by the so-called âfather of gynecology,â Dr. J Marion Sims. They had no power to decide. A statue of Sims remains standing prominently in Montgomery. â Photo: Yalonda M. James, SF Chronicle

But over the past few years, the company has aggressively built out an electric commuter shuttle program for its employees, as well as developed other sustainable mobility offerings such as easy access to carpooling, transit services and ferry lines. The goal: Move the more than 10,000 employees that normally commute to its South San Francisco campus (pre-pandemic) with the lowest carbon footprint possible, and offer its traveling salesforce across the country access to EVs.
