📢 We’re out here at the SF @EPA office for our Rally and Press Conference for Our Lives #BayArea w/ @SunflowerAction @WOEIP @EnvDefenseFund!

Follow our thread below 🧵 ⬇️ for updates as we urge authorities to clean up CA's dirty ocean #shipping! 🚢

We’re calling on the U.S. @EPA to APPROVE ✅ life-saving #CleanAir amendments by @AirResources that are needed to clean up dirty ocean shipping & protect our health from #FossilFuel ship pollution. 🔥

Let's get started!

.@CityofRichmond Mayor Eduardo Martinez shares about #FossilFuel shipping: 👇

“We know we need to stop all these diesel guzzling ships from coming in and out of our ports — and that’s what we’re going to do in Richmond.”

#RuleOutShipPollution

Here’s a clear message from @Oakland Councilmember Dan Kalb: 👇

“We are here to say to @AirResources & U.S. @EPA: enough is enough! We need to end ship and port #pollution, not just in Oakland, but everywhere. In California, and the world."

Let's #RuleOutShipPollution! 🌏 🚢 🔥

We’re concluding by sharing our message 📜 to #RuleOutShipPollution with @EPAregion9’s Elizabeth Adams.

What are we asking for? For U.S. @EPA to APPROVE @AirResources clean air amendments to save lives & reduce toxic ship #pollution now! 🚫 🔥 🚢

That’s a wrap, Bay Area! 👏 Thank you to everyone who showed up to fight for cleaner air & safer portside communities. @SunflowerAction @WOEIP @EnvDefenseFund 💚

Let’s continue to urge @EPA @AirResources to prioritize #PublicHealth, NOT polluting fossil-fueled #shipping!
