March for Clean Air and Good Jobs at the Port of Oakland


Oaklanders Deserve a Lifetime of Clean Air and Good Jobs.  We Can't Wait Any Longer! 

Port drivers work 11-14 hours a day for as little as $8 an hour.

Port drivers do not receive health or pension benefits.

While waiting in line, engines idle, and drivers and residents breathe cancer causing fumes.

Due to diesel pollution, West Oaklanders' risk of cancer is more than double that of other Bay Area residents.

    Join the Coalition for Clean & Safe Ports, the Alameda County Central Labor Council, the California Labor Federation & Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa.

    Demonstrate Support for Good Jobs and Clean Air at the Port of Oakland.

    March and Rally in Support of a Comprehensive Clean Trucks Program
    Tuesday, July 22nd, 2:00pm
    Meet at Oakland Marriott, 10th Street and Broadway
