Join us on July 22nd as we rally and march to demand clean air and good jobs at the Port of Oakland

Oaklanders Deserve a Lifetime of Clean Air & 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 California Labor Federation & Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa
