Fossil fuel companies not only pollute national and state elections, they are polluting local races as well, like the Oakland mayor’s race. Five candidates for mayor have signed a pledge opposing a coal export terminal in Oakland. But one candidate, Ignacio de la Fuente, who is on record supporting the terminal, has accepted a staggering $600,000 from the coal terminal developers.

Join 350 East Bay along with No Coal in Oakland, Youth vs. Apocalypse, the Sierra Club, West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, Baykeeper, and more allies to expose this outrageous attempt to buy the Oakland mayor’s race. Come to the rally and press conference to oppose toxic pollution of our local election.

Speakers: 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

For clean air and clean elections,

Your 350 East Bay Team
