This is the next meeting of the community group working to end coal exports at the Levin-Richmond terminal on the Richmond waterfront. Join us to discuss ideas and strategies for stopping coal exports through the Bay Area.
Thanks to the falling price of clean energy and the commitment of activists like you, the coal industry is in retreat. We’ve retired 259 coal plants in seven years—that’s one plant retired every eleven days. And more than 3 million people now work in the clean energy economy, which now employs more people than fossil fuels in almost every state in the country. So why does the Bay Area—a region renowned for its environmental leadership—still have coal trains coming through our communities? Why do we have huge, uncovered piles of dirty, dusty coal sitting right next to our Bay at the Levin-Richmond Terminal on the Richmond waterfront? Why is the Richmond terminal one of the last three ports left in the state to export the dirty fossil fuel when California doesn’t even use coal power? Come join us at this community meeting where we discuss these issues and address next steps to ending coal exports from Richmond.
