March for Good Jobs and Clean Air! Monday, March 17th 2008 4:30PM
Oakland, CA
Join the March from City Hall to the Port of Oakland! Next week, Port Commissioners will vote on the first step towards instituting a Port Trucking Policy. For the past year, the Coalition for Clean and Safe Ports has been fighting for a Clean Trucks Program that makes industry responsible for cleaning the air, ends the “sweatshop on wheels” system, includes a local jobs program, and makes drivers employees rather than independent contractors. Let the Port know we want a strong, clean trucks program!
Meet outside Oakland's City Hall - near the 12th Street BART station. We'll be marching from there to the Port of Oakland to ensure our voices and concerns are heard!
