Quick Note from LA Beyond Coal Organizer: Jasmin Vargas HUGE - TopicsExpress



          

Quick Note from LA Beyond Coal Organizer: Jasmin Vargas HUGE Thank you for all who made it to Long Beach City Council today! I am stunned by the unanimous decision from council to allow OxBow, Metro and the LB Port to continue their dirty business of exporting Coal and Pet coke WITHOUT an Environmental Review. All that we were asking and the community was imploring was to ask the Port to do a common sense analysis of the Environmental and Community impacts BUT because the city lawyers and he LB Port Lawyers said they didnt HAVE TO The council, instead of showing leadership, foresight, and concern for the folks that elected them, they gave Oxbow and the Port a hand out and exempted them from, at the very least, considering the CLIMATE CHANGE implications. When the laws FAIL and our City officials FAILS, what is left? WE ORGANIZE! Its the power of the people vs. the power of money, and the fights just begun. So what side are you on?
