Developer Phil Tagami, and hedge fund operator Jon Brooks are scheming with President Donald J. Trump to build a giant coal export terminal in West Oakland.
“By summer 2028, over 12 million tons of clean, beautiful coal per year will be shipped to countries all around the world,” Trump proclaimed at a White House press event.
We say NO to multiple mile-long trains a day rolling through the East Bay spewing coal dust into the lungs of children, working-class neighborhoods, and communities.
No Coal in Oakland is a grassroots organization of East Bay residents fighting for a coal-free East Bay. For over a decade, No Coal in Oakland and our allies in the Keep Coal Out Coalition have kept the coal industry and developers at bay.
In 2016, we won a great victory when the City of Oakland passed an ordinance that would ban coal storage and handling in Oakland, but the courts held that the developers’ contract rights took priority over the City’s right to protect public health and safety.
The coal industry, developers, and the Trump Administration are seeking to get a coal terminal built in West Oakland. They hope to ship coal starting in 2028.
A powerful multi-racial, multi-generational movement of labor, faith, environmental justice, climate, and public health can stop this scheme from polluting our future.
Join us for the final push!
