SUMMARY:Final Hearing in Federal Coal Trial (CANCELLED)
DESCRIPTION:Judge Chhabria has CANCELLED the hearing first scheduled on March 28 then moved to April 5. His ruling in OBOT v City of Oakland will be issued without holding further hearings. He could issue his written ruling at any time\, in April or later. \nThe lawsuit is funded by Bowie Resource Partners\, the top coal producer in Utah\, which hopes to own and operate a coal terminal in West Oakland near the foot of the Bay Bridge.  Judge Chhabria focused the trial on the question of whether the City of Oakland had substantial evidence to support its enforcement of a ban on coal storage and handling on the Terminal project.  The City approved a Development Agreement in 2013 immunizing the project from changes in rules and regulations\, but the City has the power to impose new regulations provided they held a public hearing (which they did) and compiled substantial evidence that failure to impose the regulation would result in a substantial danger to the health and safety of West Oakland residents and workers at the site.  The three-day trial in January is described in our earlier posts which you can find here.  Check back before coming because Judge Chhabria sometimes calls off or changes the date and time of a hearing.

SUMMARY:Earth Day Celebration - West Oakland
DESCRIPTION:Coming together with Research and Data: Presenting Information from Real Time Equipment\nThis workshop is sponsored by the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project (WOEIP)\, and will update residents of West Oakland with information from three air monitoring studies associated with a new Truck Management Program for West Oakland. The workshop will cover 100 x 100 air monitoring sensors placed throughout West Oakland; EDF/Google air mapping; and a study analyzing why filters on trucks are not working effectively at the Port of Oakland. The results of these studies will inform attendees of scientific findings about how black carbon — the main component of soot emitted from diesel engines\, wood smoke\, and other sources — varies throughout West Oakland. \nDuring this workshop\, participants will work together to determine how these data and our local knowledge can inform the City and the Port of Oakland to produce a truly comprehensive plan that minimizes air pollution in our neighborhoods. Here\, we will set priorities and recommend ways to ensure that this plan is an opportunity to ensure that air pollution does not persist in the places that matter most: where we live\, work\, play\, and pray. Join us in making an impact! \nFor more information\, please view the event flyer (PDF) or contact Ms. Margaret Gordon at 510-257-5647. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Community Expression Vs. Corruption - UPDATED
DESCRIPTION:From Youth Vs. Apocalypse – NOTE 2nd LOCATION CHANGE – back to original location: \nRecently\, Phil Tagami announced plans to host the 2018 East Bay Innovators Awards on behalf of his childrens’ school\, East Bay Innovation Academy. But Tagami is completely draining Oakland of its resources\, and threatening our health and climate with a toxic coal terminal\, targetting a predominantly low-income community of color with environmental injustice\, and was planning to honor DA Nancy O’Malley\, who has a record of protecting police\, not youth of color. \nAfter plans were announced for a youth-led protest\, event planners scrambled to distance themselves from Tagami\, first moving and then canceling the event!!! \nNow we just need plans for the coal terminal to be dropped as well. \nJoin Youth Vs Apocalypse at the Rotunda Building to make our voices heard with drumming\, chanting\, youth performance and live art. \nWhen: Thursday\, May 17th\, 2018 5:30pm-7:30pm (Be prepared to stay a little late; come for what you can!) \nWhere: Back to original location — Rotunda Building | 300 Frank Ogawa Plaza | Downtown Oakland \nWho can go: Anyone! Youth strongly encouraged!! \nContact: YouthVsApocalypse@gmail.com | Instagram @youthvsapocalypse | Facebook: Youth Vs. Apocalypse \n

SUMMARY:Protest to Stop Financing of Oakland Coal Terminal
DESCRIPTION:Outside a San Francisco conference for investment professionals who belong to a group called Principles for Responsible Investment\, we’ll be exposing the Bank of Montreal’s irresponsible financing of the coal terminal proposed by Bowie Resource Partners and fronted by Oakland would-be coal developer Phil Tagami … with an aim to exposing the devious cover-up of this investment’s true nature and risk. Our aim is twofold: convince Bank of Montreal to back away from arranging financing for the coal terminal; and persuade the people who advise pension funds that the bank hopes to hoodwink with this losing investment to avoid participating in funding the toxic and risky project. \nThis is an informational event with leaflets\, colorful banners\, creative picket signs\, and possible street theater.

SUMMARY:Richmond City Council: Coal and Petcoke Ordinance
DESCRIPTION:Richmond may be taking its first step toward ending the shipment of coal through the Levin terminal. \nA draft coal and petcoke ordinance is on the Richmond city council agenda this Tuesday!  The city council will be voting to direct city staff to review the proposed ordinance\, which if adopted will protect Richmond’s community from the health hazards of coal and petroleum coke.  Please come and express your support.  This is currently the very last item (L-7) on the meeting agenda\, but it’s possible it could be moved up.  Here are key talking points: \n\nThe export of coal from Richmond is not only a public health issue for the people who live directly next to the terminal\, but for every community that the uncovered coal trains travel through from Utah where the coal is mined.\nRichmond residents already suffer from high levels of asthma and other health-related issues from poor air quality.  This is a critical step to making Richmond a healthier place to live for residents and businesses.\nIn 2017\, the Levin-Richmond terminal shipped over 1.1 million metric tons of coal.  That’s a 300% increase over 2016 coal shipments\, and the terminal is on track to exceed that amount this year.  Our community cannot continue to be exposed to high levels of toxic coal dust and public health risks.\nThis is an opportunity for Richmond to phase out the export of coal and petcoke\, and fulfill residents’ desire to live in a healthier and safer community.\n\nFeel free to bring your own stories and concerns\, too!  It is also helpful to contact city council members to tell them that you support this coal ordinance: \nMayor Tom Butt tom.butt@intres.com\nJovanka Beckles jovanka_beckles@ci.richmond.ca.us\nBen Choi ben_choi@ci.richmond.ca.us\nEduardo Martinez eduardo_martinez@ci.richmond.ca.us\nAda Recinos ada_recinos@ci.richmond.ca.us\nJael Myrick jael_myrick@ci.richmond.ca.us\nMelvin Willis melvin_willis@ci.richmond.ca.us

SUMMARY:Putting the 'Just' in Just Energy Transition: Nick Mullins
DESCRIPTION:Nick Mullins\, a former underground coal miner and an advocate for just transition\, will speak about his perspectives on just transition: \nDate: Tuesday\, June 18\, 2019\nTime: 7:30 pm\nPlace: California Nurses Association building at 155 Grand Ave\, Oakland\, CA 94612. \nThere is no charge to attend\, but there will be a collection to support Nick’s work. \nNote that there is no parking available at Oakland event.  There is some street parking\, and public transportation by bus or BART is encouraged.  The conference room is on the first floor. \nIf possible\, please RSVP for this event by Monday\, June 17.  You can email nocoalinoakland@gmail.com with your RSVP.  Our hosts have requested this to help them set up the room. \nThe Oakland presentation is co-sponsored by No Coal in Oakland\, the California Nurses Association\, West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project (WOEIP)\, East Bay Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Climate and Environmental Justice Caucus\, Sunflower Alliance\, No Coal in Richmond\, Bay Area System Change not Climate Change\, the No Coal Alliance\, and Sierra Club San Francisco Bay Chapter. \nNick is also speaking on Monday\, June 17\, at 7 p.m. in Richmond\, at the Bobby Bowens Progressive Center\, 2540 Macdonald Avenue.  These are two stops on his national tour\, “Putting the ‘Just’ in Just Energy Transition.” \nNick’s presentation \nNick will address the divide between rural conservatism and urban liberalism and the jobs vs. environment debate based upon it.  He considers the best and most important means of lessening this cultural disconnect lies within a just energy transition that provides immediate job alternatives to those who need them. \nUsing his own story and experiences\, Mullins asks what a “just” transition truly means and seeks to help audiences understand the issues working-class communities face. By illustrating the need to rethink traditional environmental communication methods and work harder to establish common ground\, he builds hope to achieve a sustainable future for generations to come. \nYou can read more about Nick at https://www.breakclean.com/ and https://thoughtsofacoalminer.com/about-the-author/

SUMMARY:Rally to Get Coal Out of Richmond!
DESCRIPTION:Come support Richmond residents suffering from health problems aggravated by coal and petroleum coke dust! On Thursday\, July 18 at 5:30 pm\, No Coal in Richmond will hold a rally and press conference on City Hall steps at 5:30 pm before the 6:30 pm Richmond Planning Commission meeting. \nWHAT: No Coal in Richmond rally & Richmond Planning Commission hearing\nWHEN: Thursday\, July 18: rally & press conference 5:30\, Planning Commission 6:30\nWHERE: Richmond City Hall steps\, 450 Civic Center Plaza\, Richmond CA 94804 \nThe Planning Commission meeting will consider the Richmond Coal Ordinance\, which prohibits new coal operations on private land in the city\, prevents existing facilities from expanding\, and provides for a graduated phase-out of coal operations. It relies on the city’s police powers to regulate businesses in the interest of residents’ health and safety. \nNo Coal in Richmond is urging the Planning Commission to recommend approval of the ordinance with a phase-out period of three years. A three-year phase-out will safeguard terminal workers’ jobs and allow the terminal enough time to convert their operations to safer bulk commodities. The commission’s recommendation will go before the City Council in September. \nIf you are a Richmond resident and want to speak at the hearing\, please contact action@sunflower-alliance.org and put “Planning Commission testimony” in the subject line. This is your chance to voice your experience\, or that of family members\, of suffering health problems such as asthma and COPD. \nNo Coal in Richmond has collected 1\,600 signatures on a letter to the City Council urging them to act to end coal and petroleum coke handling and storage at the Levin-\nRichmond Terminal. We already suffer from the areas’s highest levels of asthma and other health problems caused by bad air quality. \nTo read the ordinance and learn more about the health effects of coal and petroleum coke dust\, please visit the No Coal in Richmond website: https://ncir.weebly.com/

SUMMARY:Migrant Justice is Climate Justice: Join CJ/EJ day in Month of Momentum at ICE Office in SF
DESCRIPTION:Join Climate Justice\, Environmental Justice\, and Environmentalist activists in a noon-hour protest at ICE headquarters on Monday\, August 5.  This is part of a month-long campaign to demonstrate broad opposition to the administration’s brutal treatment of immigrants\, refugees\, and asylum seekers. \nWhat: Climate Justice\, Environmental Justice\, and Environmentalist day of action during the “Month of Momentum: #CloseTheCamps” actions being planned by a broad range of social justice and progressive organizations and individuals. The August 5th protest is being coordinated by members of No Coal in Oakland; we and our allies across the spectrum of Climate Justice\, Environmental Justice\, and Environmentalist organizations are working together to turn out a rousing crowd for the noon hour protest to represent our commitment to migrant justice as an inseparable part of our mission and movement. \nWhen: Monday\, August 5\, noon to 1 p.m. \nWhere: ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) office\, 630 Sansome Street\, San Francisco (map) \nWhy: We are outraged and ashamed about the inhumanity at the border.  We want to show up as environmental activists in solidarity with other progressive\, issue-focused groups in opposition to the brutally corrosive policies and politics of the current administration. \nMany people around the world are fleeing their homes because of war\, gang violence\, poverty—and increasingly\, people are becoming climate refugees\, moving because their homes are becoming unlivable due to climate change (sea level rise\, desertification\, extreme heat\, fires\, etc.). \nDetails: Bring a sign or an idea for a sign linking the climate crisis to the immigrant crisis.  We will chant\, sing\, and walk in front of the ICE headquarters during the lunch hour. \nThis is an opportunity to contribute to strengthen social justice movements across a range of too-often-siloed issues and to contribute to strengthening the broad progressive movement that is necessary to counter rabid nationalism\, racism\, and greed at the rotten heart of forces aiming to destroy Earth for its current and future inhabitants. \nRSVP &/or share on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/676106659497090/ \nOutreach for the Month of Momentum (all events): https://www.facebook.com/events/663063917438708/ \nFull calendar: https://bit.ly/32MTXEs (click to August to see daily signups) \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Ninth Circuit Hearing on Judge Chhabria's Decision Against Oakland
DESCRIPTION:In Courtroom 2\, 3rd Floor Room 330\, a panel of three Ninth Circuit judges will hear oral argument on the appeal by the City of Oakland\, Sierra Club\, and San Francisco Baykeeper\, from Judge Vince Chhabria’s decision after a three-day trial in which he struck down Oakland’s ban on on the storage and handling of coal at a terminal on City-owned waterfront near the Bay Bridge toll plaza. \nThe hearing will be open to the public. All supporters of No Coal in Oakland are encouraged to attend. We will bring you further details regarding the hearing and NCIO’s plans for November 12 as the hearing date approaches. \nThe parties will learn the identities of the three judges who will hear the case about a week before the hearing.  The Ninth Circuit has 29 active judges and 18 judges on senior status\, any of whom may be assigned to the panel.  The attorneys in the case will be keenly interested in who will be hearing the case and will seek to tailor their arguments to appeal to the known inclinations of the three judges on the panel. \n“Some judges always focus on the standard of review. Others often seem to know the record better than the lawyers appearing before them. Others like to engage the advocates in hypotheticals while others care about the pragmatic outcome of a case\,” explains appellate specialist MaryBeth LippSmith. \n[UPDATE\, 11/11/2019: our best estimate now is that the argument for the Oakland case will begin around 10am\, earlier than we first forecast.] The Court’s notice of cases shows that the panel in Courtroom 2 will hear one habeas and three criminal cases during the same morning session. If the four other cases are heard first\, the argument in the City of Oakland case will begin around 10:30 10:00 a.m.  The schedule can change without notice\, however\, so it is advisable to get to the courthouse before 9 a.m. in order to clear security and be seated in the courtroom at 9 a.m. \nThe Court has allotted 20 minutes of time to each side for the argument.  Assigned time limits are usually strictly observed so the entire morning’s calendar will be completed before noon. \nAfter the argument\, the Court will face no time limit to reach a decision\, but most Ninth Circuit cases are decided within 3 months to a year. \nThe Browning Courthouse is likely to be very crowded on November 12.  At approximately the same time as the City of Oakland hearing\, another three-judge panel will be hearing oral argument in the case brought by Sierra Club challenging Donald Trump’s attempt to redirect federal resources to build the wall on the U.S.-Mexican border. \nThe closest BART station is Civic Center. You must bring picture ID to get into the courthouse.  Phones may not be used in the courtroom and must be silent. \nFor those who cannot attend in person on November 12\, the hearing will be livestreamed and then archived. \n

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: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: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: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.
