Calendar

​If you learned that coal dust containing arsenic, lead, mercury, and cadmium was blowing through your neighborhood, wouldn’t you want to take action? Come help No Coal in Richmond reach out to as many residents as possible between now and late March or early April. That’s when the Richmond City Council will vote on an ordinance to prohibit new coal or pet coke facilities, prevent the Levin-Richmond Terminal from expanding, and phase out existing coal handling and storage.

​We have less than a month to reach the most affected Richmond residents about the massive amounts of coal-for-export coming through their neighborhoods in 100-car trains of open rail cars and sitting in uncovered piles next to the Bay, just blocks from homes, schools, and workplaces.

We’re door-knocking every weekend between now and late March or early April to
collect emails and signatures on a letter to the council demanding the strongest
possible ordinance.

And talk about gratifying! Nearly all those who answer the door say, “No coal in
Richmond? Where do I sign?” and proceed to thank you profusely for doing this.
Check out the new and improved No Coal in Richmond website for background, up-
to-the minute news, and other ways you can fight this climate and public health
menace in Richmond.

Join the March for Fossil Fuel Freedom, ending with a rally and nonviolent direct action at the San Francisco headquarters of Big Oil’s favorite banker, Oily Wells (Fargo). The direct action will be the conclusion of a three-day, 34-mile march from Palo Alto to San Francisco.

Indigenous people and other faith leaders will lead the march  in prayer and contemplation.  The march will make twelve “stagecoach stops” along the way – one for every year that remains to take urgent action on climate change – and arrive at the bank’s world headquarters just in time to crash their annual founding day celebration. Marchers are welcome to join for the entire length or portions of the route that meet their abilities and availabilities. (“Day trippers” are welcome!)

The direct action will underscore the seriousness of the climate crisis and the strength of our resolve to combat it.

Join 350 Marin to let Chase Bank — the world’s number one financier of fossil fuels — know we’re done with their disastrous, world-damaging greed.

From the just released 2019 study by Rainforest Action Network, Sierra Club, and other non-profits:

Things JPMorgan Chase would rather you didn’t know:

Join a lively, creative action to demand that the state stop letting PG&E endanger our communities, as we head into the next wildfire season.

Nothing has changed since last year’s catastrophic wildfires.
PG&E is still in charge of the electrical grid, even though it has been responsible for 17 recent fires that killed dozens of people and endangered all Californians’ health.

PG&E gave $4.5 billion in dividends to shareholders in the last 5 years, $0 to Camp Fire victims, and $204,800 to Gov. Newsom’s gubernatorial campaign.

California can do better. We can take our power back from a corporation that values profits more than our lives, our health, and our planet. We can create a California Green New Deal, providing good jobs building a clean, safe, carbon-zero, publicly owned power grid.

Tell the legislature and Governor Newsome to stop the ongoing PG&E disaster and build a responsible clean-energy electricity system.
