Family,
I want you to be aware of this issue. There is a trial currently taking place in state court. It is important that the people of Oakland and the East Bay make it clear that we oppose a coal terminal for both economic and ecological reasons.
Pastor Jim
For years, developer Phil Tagami has been pushing to build a massive coal terminal in West Oakland. In 2016, Oakland City Council voted unanimously to ban coal and, after defending a federal lawsuit, the city is now fighting in state court to end the threat of an Oakland coal terminal for good.
