The Zombie March on Coal paid Phil Tagami’s house a visit to plead our case. Come to NCIO’s open meeting to discuss this and future actions.
YOU’RE WELCOME AT TOMORROW’S
NO COAL IN OAKLAND MEETING!
We meet regularly to plan actions that will strengthen Oakland’s resistance to coal. 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.
Come for a report-back and community evaluation of the Halloween-themed Zombie March on Coal organized by Climate Workers and stay to discuss new ways we can fight the developer who wants to turn Oakland in the biggest coal-exporting town on the West Coast of the United States.
On the day before Halloween, No Coal in Oakland participated in the Zombie March. A couple hundred youth and adults took to the streets to visit developer Phil Tagami’s house in Crocker Highlands to press our demand that he drop his lawsuit against the City of Oakland seeking to overturn our historic ban on coal.
The Zombie March on Coal received extensive coverage in our local news media, including the East Bay Times, the Oakland Post, NBC Bay Area, and KTVU and turned up the heat on Mr. Tagami to drop his lawsuit or face the wrath of Oakland residents.
WOEIP is around the corner from the West Oakland BART station, 1/2 block south of Fifth St, behind the chain link fence and through the parking lot, on the west side of the street. There’s a map on our website here.
Come learn about the lawsuit and the status of different facets of our ongoing campaign, including the now historic ….
ZOMBIE MARCH ON COAL
On October 30, No Coal in Oakland participated in the Zombie March on Coal organized by Climate Workers. A couple hundred youth and adults took to the streets to visit developer Phil Tagami’s house in Crocker Highlands to press our demand that he drop his lawsuit seeking to overturn our City’s ban on coal.
Many young people played a part in the event, including by decorating tombstones that were left in front of Phil Tagami’s house to remind him that the coal terminal he wants to build will harm other people’s health and speaking at the rally in front of Mr. Tagami’s house.
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.
No Coal in Oakland and our allies have vowed to support the City in its fight to keep coal out of Oakland. Our open letter calling on Tagami to drop his lawsuit was published in late October in the East Bay Express and the Oakland Post. 66 organizations and 1,800 individuals had already signed on at press-time, and we’re continuing to collect new signatures.
