Oakland Demands Equitable Climate and Energy Action

On Tuesday March 30th, City Council got their first look at Oakland's proposed Energy and Climate Action Plan. But, before they saw the plan, they saw the steps of City Hall filled with over 175 Oakland Climate Action Coalition members and supporters, including many of you, united with caulk guns for weatherization, trees ready for planting and signs declaring 'Climate Justice,' 'Green Jobs' and 'Oakland is Ready!'

Take Action: Sign the Oakland Climate Action Coalition Petition!

Next, we went inside City Hall to testify for Oakland Climate Action Coalition policies that address global warming while creating green-collar jobs, improving public health and saving residents money. From the voices of high school youth, labor union representatives, green business owners, environmentalists and social justice advocates, our message was loud and clear: We want an Energy and Climate Action Plan for the City of Oakland that provides equal protection from the harms of global warming and ensures equal access to the benefits that global warming solutions provide.

Make sure you have signed our petition and stay tuned to be involved in our movement towards green jobs and climate justice.
