SUMMARY:Trump Resistance Tuesday - No DAPL\, No Coal
DESCRIPTION:NCIO is taking part  in #ResistTrumpTuesday\, on March 7\, to protest attacks on climate and environmental justice — from the Dakota Access Pipeline to the ongoing push to export coal from Oakland. \nWHEN:    11:45 am\, Tuesday\, March 7 \nWHERE:  12th St & Broadway \nThis march through downtown Oakland will visit Wells Fargo\, Citibank\, and Chase to tell them to divest from the Dakota Access Pipeline AND target the office of developer Phil Tagami to demand that he drop his lawsuit against Oakland for banning coal exports. \nPhil Tagami’s lawyers filed a suit in federal court on December 7 to try to overturn Oakland’s hard-won ban on coal.  Taking a page out of the Trump Administration’s legal agenda\, Tagami claims his Constitutional right to ship coal has been violated by Oakland’s ban.  Click here to learn more about the fight back against Tagami’s suit. \nOutside Tagami’s office in Oscar Grant Plaza\, we will present our demand that Tagami find a better use for the West Gateway property and stop suing the City for protecting the health of people in West Oakland and averting climate disruption. \nWe’ll end up at City Hall to thank the City Council for its resolution asking the California Employee Retirement System to divest from the pipeline. \nAt each stop\, there will be a boxing match between the Earth and the Corporate Investors to determine the future of the planet\, as well as speakers representing indigenous people\, labor\, and youth.  We need you to cheer loudly for a people’s planet and against the profiteers. \nJoin us in downtown Oakland for the Tuesday March 7 action.

SUMMARY:NCIO Meeting (Again!)
DESCRIPTION:On December 7\, Phil Tagami filed suit against the City of Oakland seeking to overturn the City of Oakland’s ban on storage and handling of coal at the new shipping terminal to be built on public land near the foot of the Bay Bridge. \nNo Coal in Oakland and our allies have vowed to support the City in its fight to keep coal out of Oakland. \nWe need to show up.  Only through continued mobilization and a strong alliance with our neighbors in the labor\, faith\, environmental\, social justice\, climate justice\, racial justice\, public health\, and business communities can we ensure defeat of the plan to build the coal terminal. \nThere will be a general meeting of No Coal in Oakland on Thursday\, January 12\, at 5 p.m. at the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project\, 349 Mandela Parkway. \nCome learn about the lawsuit and share ideas on the role community activists can play in defeating Phil Tagami in this new phase of the struggle. \n

SUMMARY:Rally and Council Vote on Coal
DESCRIPTION:The Oakland City Council’s long-awaited vote on coal may finally be coming at a special meeting set by the Council for Monday\, June 27. \nThe Oakland City Council has called the special session to “conclude and present information from the public hearing on the health and safety impacts of coal in Oakland and options for action\, including whether to adopt a prohibition on the storage\, loading\, import and export of coal in Oakland.” \nNo Coal in Oakland supporters will be present in large numbers to demand that the City Council pass a ban on coal that night.  We expect the Council to place no other items on the agenda.  This is the night that we demand our elected leaders say “No” to developer Phil Tagami.  They need to understand that the people of Oakland will not stand for anything less than a ban on coal. \nNo Coal will be holding a rally in Frank Ogawa/Oscar Grant Plaza before the meeting.  The special meeting will begin at 5 p.m. \nSAVE THE DATE!  DEMAND A BAN ON JUNE 27!\nPrint the flyer (PDF) and bring your neighbors.

SUMMARY:Ban Coal Rally
DESCRIPTION:On June 27\, the Oakland City Council will finally decide what to do about coal.   Will the City Council ban coal or will it sentence us to a 66-year-long compromise with the developer that would make Oakland the biggest coal exporting city on the West Coast?\n \nAlthough public opposition is great\, powerful forces are working behind the scenes to make the coal deal a reality.  Gov. Jerry Brown has remained silent while his friend and business partner Phil Tagami plots to ship millions of tons of coal through Oakland to be burned overseas.  It’s time for the greedy one percent to back off on this scheme that endangers the health and safety of Oaklanders and and would add to climate change throughout the world.  We can stop them but only if we let the City Council know that we will stand for nothing less than a ban on coal. \nJoin No Coal in Oakland on Saturday\, June 25\, for a large rally at City Hall starting at 1 p.m.\nPrint the flyer (PDF) and bring your neighbors.

SUMMARY:City Council Open Forum\, June 21
DESCRIPTION:Please come out for a half hour on Tuesday May 21\, 2016 to remind the City Council that we want a ban on coal. New faces and new voices at this week’s Open Forum will go a long way to helping the council understand how broadly Oakland wants a ban on coal. You only have to speak for one minute\, and it’s at the beginning of the agenda: you can arrive at 5:30 and leave by 6:00. \nSign up for Open Forum in advance at\nhttp://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/CityClerk/s/SpeakerCard/SpeakerCard/OAK032373 \nFor Item\, enter “Open Forum” (or either word if it doesn’t accept both). Bring the confirmation number with you to the meeting. \nYou may already have your own “elevator speech” about coal based on your own experience. Please consider that it’s important to keep making the point that there is no way to mitigate the impact of coal dust on the West Oakland community or the impact of burning coal anywhere on our climate crisis everywhere. We need a ban\, not regulations. You can also advocate the proposed inclusion of crude oil\, fuel oils and gasoline in the ordinance — but please tell the council that these additional inclusions must not delay a coal ordinance!

SUMMARY:City Council Open Forum\, May 17th
DESCRIPTION:Please come out for a half hour on Tuesday May 17\, 2016 to remind the City Council that we want a ban on coal. New faces and new voices at this week’s Open Forum will go a long way to helping the council understand how broadly Oakland wants a ban on coal. You only have to speak for one minute\, and it’s at the beginning of the agenda: you can arrive at 5:30 and leave by 6:00. \nSign up for Open Forum in advance at\nhttp://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/CityClerk/s/SpeakerCard/SpeakerCard/OAK032373 \nFor Item\, enter “Open Forum” (or either word if it doesn’t accept both). Bring the confirmation number with you to the meeting. \nYou may already have your own “elevator speech” about coal based on your own experience. Please consider that it’s important to keep making the point that there is no way to mitigate the impact of coal dust on the West Oakland community or the impact of burning coal anywhere on our climate crisis everywhere. We need a ban\, not regulations. You can also advocate the proposed inclusion of crude oil\, fuel oils and gasoline in the ordinance — but please tell the council that these additional inclusions must not delay a coal ordinance!

SUMMARY:City Council Action On Coal
DESCRIPTION:Please show up for the next chapter in the campaign to keep coal out of Oakland!  On Tuesday\, May 3\, the City Council will be voting whether to hire Environmental Science Associates to review and synthesize the extensive evidence regarding the health and safety dangers of coal. \nIt is time for the City Council to set a date to vote on the ordinance banning coal. They have promised this vote before the summer recess\, but this may not be possible within the timetable ESA proposes.  Let’s insist that the City Council put the vote for the ordinance on their calendar. We have had more than enough delays in this process! \nThe proposed contract with ESA does not include any public health experts or reflect any public health expertise. The Council wants a review of the evidence in order to substantiate an ordinance banning coal from OBOT\, the bulk marine terminal to be built at the former Oakland Army Base. They should have hired public health experts for this task. The ordinance requires findings that coal would place residents and workers “in a condition substantially dangerous to their health or safety.” The absence of public health experts in the review process is a critical deficiency. \nNo Coal in Oakland pushed the City to hire public health experts rather than ESA. But even if the City does hire ESA\, an independent panel of civic-minded public health experts will be reviewing the evidence\, preparing their own report and correcting any inadequacies or inaccuracies in the report from ESA. Nationally-respected public health experts in and close to Oakland have formed a panel to do this work at no cost to the City. \nAt the council meeting\, speakers can support the independent panel and criticize the City for not hiring such experts themselves. \nBACKGROUND \nThe initial proposal from ESA was strongly criticized by No Coal in Oakland and allies because it was expensive and time consuming\, and because ESA has frequently minimized public health concerns\, most recently in the Environmental Impact Report they wrote for the Valero refinery in Benicia\, which was widely criticized in a campaign against refinery expansion that is still going on. \nIn response to our concerns\, the city asked ESA to modify their proposal for a shorter and less expensive review. We criticized this scope of work because it did not include any public health experts. \nOn April 14\, public health experts\, led by Health Impact Partners (HIP)\, submitted to city officials an outline of a proposal to do their own review of the evidence. Based in downtown Oakland\, HIP is a national leader in the field of health impact assessment. They proposed to work with PSE Healthy Energy\, an Oakland-based energy science and policy institute\, and to create a panel to review their work\, consisting of Bay Area public health experts with a variety of backgrounds\, including environmental health (air quality\, water quality and noise)\, environmental justice\, occupational health and medicine\, and epidemiology. \nThe City rejected this extremely thoughtful proposal. \nGiven this response\, the public health experts decided to create their own independent panel. This group has already begun to meet and review the evidence submitted on and after September 21. They will write a report substantiating the danger to health and safety\, and will be prepared to critique any inadequacies and inaccuracies in the ESA report. \nThere was some discussion by city officials of the possibility of hiring one public health expert on a fee-for-service basis. However\, this offer stalled. After more than a week\, there was no response to his effort to contact the City to discuss the possible role he could play. Given this impasse\, we understand that the organizers of the independent panel have decided to move forward on their own. Time is short and the process cannot wait. \nAs a result\, at this point we are not asking the City to hire any public health experts. This essential review will be done by the experts who have stepped forward on their own to protect the health and safety of Oakland residents. We appreciate their initiative and will be supporting them to do this essential work. \nHOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MEETING \nThe public can speak on City Council agenda items\, although each speaker gets only one minute. It is possible for others to “cede time” to allow a speaker an additional couple of minutes. We encourage our supporters to sign up to speak and cede time at the meeting. \nUse this link: \nhttp://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/CityClerk/s/SpeakerCard/SpeakerCard/OAK032373 \nOn the form enter your name\, the date of 5/3/16\, ‘13’ in the “Item Number\,” ‘City Council’ as the choice for “Comm/CouncilName.” \nYou can indicate you wish to speak\, name a person to whom you will cede your time or leave this blank. You can always cede time at the council meeting if you have submitted this form. \nAfter entering your speaker card form\, you will get a confirmation number. Bring this with you to the meeting. \nNote that the lot behind City Hall on Clay Street has free parking after 4:30 p.m. on City Council meeting nights. \n

SUMMARY:State-wide Call-in to Call-out Gov. Brown
DESCRIPTION:Please call Governor Jerry Brown\, Oakland’s former mayor\, on Monday\, April 25th\, to join our daylong Call-in to Call-out Governor Brown! \nLast July at the Vatican\, Governor Jerry Brown said to the Pope that 90% of coal must stay in the ground to avoid climate disaster. \nBut what is our professed climate leader doing to stop coal trains from coming through his hometown? \nNothing! \nLet Brown know that lofty proclamations are not enough. \nPLEASE JOIN US IN A STATE-WIDE CALL-IN to CALL OUT BROWN\nMonday\, April 25 between 8 am and 5 pm \nCall: 916-445-2841 \nFax: 916-558-3160 \nTwitter: @JerryBrownGov \nEmail: https://govnews.ca.gov/gov39mail/mail.php \nLet Gov. Brown know that he can no longer remain silent. \nRemind Gov. Brown that\, in the words of Rev. Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, “The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.” \nWe are calling on Brown to: \n\nPublicly oppose the export of coal from the new bulk terminal being built in West Oakland. We are asking Gov. Brown to defend his fellow Oaklanders who already suffer the health consequences from the worst air quality in all of Alameda County.\n Affirm his support for Senator Loni Hancock’s two bills about coal and use the power of his office to promote and pass them.\n\nPlease visit NoCoalinOakland.org or contact nocoalinoakland@gmail.com for more information. \n  \n  \n
