SUMMARY:No Coal in the East Bay: Letter to the Editor writing workshop (online)
DESCRIPTION:Join East Bay DSA online to fight against toxic coal pollution in Oakland! \nLetters to the editor are a powerful tool to shape public opinion and catch the attention of powerful decision-makers like legislators\, investors\, and regulators. At this workshop\, offered by the Climate Action Committee of East Bay Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)\, you’ll learn why letters to the editor matter\, and how to write an effective one. We’ll do a mini writing workshop where you can start and submit your own letter to the editor. \nThis is a great way to get plugged into ongoing organizing with No Coal in the East Bay. Our goal is to create a strong\, coordinated group of local advocates who can get our narrative out there: the people of the East Bay say no to toxic coal pollution! \nRSVP on East Bay DSA’s event page to learn how to join this online workshop.

SUMMARY:Keep Coal Out of the East Bay: Community Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The East Bay is rising up to stop a proposed coal terminal that would blanket our communities in toxic dust. Come learn how you can fight coal at this community meeting. \nWe’ll catch you up on our decade-long campaign opposing a proposed coal terminal in West Oakland.

This coal terminal is everyone’s problem–and it’ll take all of us to stop it. \nJoin us on Thursday\, June 25\, 2026\, 7-8:30 PM\, at La Peña Cultural Center\, 3105 Shattuck Ave\, Berkeley \nYou can RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Hearing: OBOT motion to hold City of Oakland in contempt of court
DESCRIPTION:Phil Tagami – with his hedge fund backer Jon Brooks standing right behind him – has filed a motion to hold the City of Oakland in contempt for failing to immediately produce documents and permitting necessary to restart the coal terminal project following January’s ruling by Judge Noël Wise. The City’s position is that the January 23\, 2024 judgment is stayed while the case is being appealed\, meaning that the judgment is not yet in effect\, and will not be unless and until the appeals court rules against the City. \nA public hearing on the contempt motion filed by OBOT – for which over 400 pages of briefs\, declarations\, and proposed court orders have been filed since late May – is scheduled for July 16\, 2024 at 1:30 pm\, in Department 21 at the Rene C. Davidson Courthouse\, before Judge Wise. The courthouse is at 1225 Fallon St. in Oakland (cross street is Oak St.; closest BART station is Lake Merritt).

SUMMARY:OBOT v Oakland: Damages Phase
DESCRIPTION:Judge Noël Wise ruled against the City of Oakland on October 27\, 2023 in the “liability phase” of the state trial that began on July 10th\, stating “the Court finds the City breached the Parties’ Contract.” \nThe next phase of the trial will determine what remedy or damages are awarded to the would-be coal developers. It begins on Tuesday\, November 28\, 2023 at 9:00 am. \nIn the Judge’s order\, also published on October 27\, she wrote: “The damages phase of trial will begin Tuesday\, November 28\, 2023\, at 9 AM in Department 514. Based on previous trial estimates the Parties provided to the Court\, the Court anticipates closing arguments will be completed on Thursday\, November 30\, 2023\, but no later than the afternoon of Friday\, December 1\, 2023.” \nThus\, it is not certain whether the closing arguments in the “Remedy Phase” of the trial will concluded on Thursday\, November 30 or Friday December 1.

SUMMARY:Argument on res judicata & force majeure
DESCRIPTION:Arguments before Alameda County Superior Court Judge Noël Wise (Department 514\, Hayward Hall of Justice) on issues raised by trial briefs filed by the opposing parties in OBOT v. Oakland\, a trial for which testimony in the first phase (concerning liability for competing breach of contract claims) concluded on August 31\, 2023. \nThe parties are briefing two highly technical but important issues that are likely to have a major impact on the outcome of the trial: \n\nRes judicata.  A basic principle of civil procedure is that a party cannot bring a second lawsuit on claims that were or could have been litigated in an earlier action. In other words\, the legal system does not allow two bites at the same apple. The parties dispute how this rule applies to the prior federal litigation\, which ended in mid-May 2018 with a decision by United States District Court Judge Vince Chhabria’s ruling that the City had insufficient evidence to support its banning of coal storing and handling at the proposed export terminal in West Oakland. The City argues that this rule bars OBOT’s claims that actions of the City before May 2018 breached the Ground Lease and that the City’s actions prior to June 14\, 2017 (when OBOT filed its final complaint in the federal action) excuse OBOT’s failures to meet their construction deadlines under the Lease.\nForce majeure. There are competing claims about how force majeure\, literally a “greater force\,” and legally an unforeseen event that prevents performance of contractually specified obligations\, applies in OBOT v Oakland. The opposing views on this issue\, as well\, will be argued before Judge Wise on this date.

SUMMARY:Community Rally: No Coal in Oakland!
DESCRIPTION:For years\, developer Phil Tagami has been pushing to build a massive coal terminal in West Oakland. \nTagami was first backed by a coal company\, then by a former coal company executive\, and now by a hedge fund managed by Vikas Tandon. \nThe people and City of Oakland have always opposed siting a coal terminal on our waterfront! In 2016\, the Oakland City Council voted unanimously to ban coal\, and is now fighting in state court to stop the development for good. \nWe need your support to Keep Coal Out of Oakland! Please join us for a No Coal in Oakland Community Rally on Saturday\, July 22\, 2023\, from 12:00 – 1:30 pm\, at 732 Willow St. (between 7th St. & 8th St.) in West Oakland. Closest BART station: West Oakland. \n  \n  \nNo Coal in Oakland Community Rally – event announcement \nSponsored by: Interfaith Council of Alameda County\, No Coal in Oakland\, and Care 4 Community Action \n

SUMMARY:Town Hall: Scientists Share Results of Alarming New Coal Dust Study
DESCRIPTION:New research comparing particulate emissions from trains in Richmond documented significantly more PM2.5 pollution from trains containing coal than from empty coal trains\, passenger trains\, and other freight trains\, as NCIO reported late last month. \nThe three scientists who conducted this study will hold an online (Zoom) meeting with community members to explain their findings and answer our questions.  Save the date Wednesday\, April 26\, from 5:30 to 7 to meet with Dr. Bart Ostro\, Dr. Heather Kuiper\, and Dr. Nicholas Spada.  After their report and dialogue with us\, Oakland and Richmond residents will meet in separate breakout rooms to discuss next steps for our campaigns\, including how we can use this new information to alert our neighbors to the dangers of coal traffic in our communities. \nPlease RSVP here to receive the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Rally to Oppose Injection of Toxic Money into the Mayor’s Race
DESCRIPTION:Come Join No Coal in Oakland Tomorrow as Oakland Community Leaders Rally to Oppose Injection of Toxic Money into the Mayor’s Race Two Weeks Before Election\nWhen: Thursday\, October 27 at 4:00 PM\nWhere: Rotunda Building\, 300 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza\, Oakland\, CA 94612\nSpeakers: Ms. Margaret Gordon\, No Coal in Oakland and West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project; Igor Tregub\, Sierra Club; Julia Dowell\, SF Baykeeper; Georgia Wallace\, Marlay’ja\, Youth vs. Apocalypse; and representatives from 350 Bay Area\, Communities for a Better Environment\, and Service Employees International Union\, Local 1021 \n\nOn Thursday\, October 27\, No Coal in Oakland and our grassroots coalition of community\, faith\, labor\, and environmental justice groups will hold a rally to denounce an attempt by would-be coal terminal developers to influence the Oakland mayor’s race with half a million dollars of out-of-town\, toxic money. \nOur coalition reaffirms our commitment to resist any effort to build a coal terminal in West Oakland and to support the City’s ordinance that bans storage and handling of coal and petroleum coke within city limits. \nThis summer\, only a few months after City Attorney Barbara Parker’s announcement that a deal was in the works to end the lawsuit over the West Gateway terminal and ensure a no coal future\, the developers backed out of settlement negotiations. \nIn recent weeks over $600\,000 has been donated to an Independent Expenditure Committee supporting Ignacio de la Fuente\, a mayoral candidate who has gone on record (Oaklandside\, Oct 3\, 2022) as being “in favor of the coal plan.” Most of that money comes from the Los Angeles-based hedge fund operator Jonathan Brooks. \nBrooks is the CEO of JMB Capital\, the big hedge fund behind Autumn Wind LLC. Autumn Wind\, headed by Vikas Tandon\, currently has the sublease on the property and threatens to develop and operate a coal terminal if local developer Phil Tagami wins his multi-million-dollar lawsuit against the City of Oakland. \nIt should alarm all voters that a total of $600\,000 of coal-related money has been donated by would-be coal developers — Jonathan Brooks and Phil Tagami through his shell-company OBOT — in a seeming attempt to buy Oakland’s mayoral election. \nOakland residents will elect our next mayor in just two weeks and the public must be aware of any effort by out-of-town\, would-be polluters to influence local elections and ongoing litigation with the City. With the future of our city’s air quality and the West Oakland community once again at stake\, No Coal in Oakland will rally to maintain that Oakland’s public health can’t be bought off – no coal\, not now\, not ever.

SUMMARY:No To Coal\, Yes To Life: Youth Climate Strike
DESCRIPTION:Youth vs Apocalypse has called a “No to Coal\, Yes to Life” march and rally at Oscar Grant Plaza on Friday Sept 23\, 2022 as part of the Global Climate Strike & Fridays for the Future. From YvA’s call: \nWest Oakland has been dealing with the threat of coal\, which would worsen already terrible pollution\, since 2015. This global strike day we are saying no to coal in Oakland and also no to all forms of violence. We are coming together to support each other\, express joy\, celebrate life\, fight to protect our lives and be able to live together. \nThis is part of an international\, youth-led day of action with the goal\, “To demand policymakers and world leaders to prioritize #PeopleNotProfit! Globally\, we are asking for Climate Reparations\, not as charity\, but as a transformative justice process in which political power will return to the people. This should be a follow through on the demands from Indigenous\, black\, anti-patriarchal and diverse marginalized communities to get their lands back\, giving resources to the most affected communities by the climate crisis for adaptation\, loss and damages. \nTogether let’s bring back the power to the people whose power has been stolen. Together\, let’s build a system and home where we prioritize #PeopleNotProfit.” \nNo to Coal\, Yes to Life – Youth vs Apocalypse graphic

SUMMARY:California Appeals Court: hearing on Anti-SLAPP Statute status on Tagami's second lawsuit
DESCRIPTION:Phil Tagami’s Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal OBOT initially sued the City in December 2018 for breach of contract\, an action which the city contends is a “strategic lawsuit against public participation” (SLAPP suit).  You can read about the stay of this lawsuit issued by Superior Court Judge Jo-Lynne Lee at https://nocoalinoakland.info/court-puts-developers-quest-for-damages-on-hold/. \nThe hearing begins at 1:30 pm on Tuesday\, July 14\, 2020; however\, it’s worth noting that other matters on the Appeals Court calendar may be heard before OBOT & OGRE vs. Oakland.  To attend the videoconference\, go to this link and join as a guest: https://primetime.bluejeans.com/a2m/live-event/hpwptkcp \nA second hearing originally scheduled in California Superior Court for 3:00 pm on the same afternoon\, addressing the question of consolidating Tagami’s breach of contract case with the suit Oalkand filed against Tagami in May of this year for breach of contract\, appears to have been postponed. Information will be posted about that hearing when we have updates on a rescheduled date/time\, and ow community members can virtually-attend. \n
