No Coal in Oakland | Weekly SUNDAY Meetings @ 7:00PM
Coordinator: Michelle | michelle@youthvsapocalypse.org
Coordinator: Georgia | georgialovewallace@gmail.com
Join NCIO Here!
The No Coal In Oakland Campaign (NCIO) seeks to organize against the people in power who are putting profit over predominantly BIPOC working class communities by pushing for a coal terminal to be built in West Oakland. Their overall goal is to ensure that coal stays out of Oakland now and forever. Acknowledging the suffocating role that environmental racism plays in these decisions to develop fossil fuel infrastructure, the youth in the NCIO campaign are naming profit-hungry development companies as their enemies and fiercely organizing against them. Organizers in this campaign hope that a win for Oakland will cause rippling effects across the world, so that every community struggling with environmental racism can be coal free!

Coordinator: Hannah Estrada | hannah.estrada@youthvsapocalypse.org
Join Newsletter Team Here!
The YVA Newsletter Team works on creating and building a newsletter to highlight all of our organizing efforts and highlight the advancements Bay Area youth have made in the movement towards climate justice. The Newsletter Team is an essential part of our work because it allows us to reclaim the media that is often controlled by people in power. When we are in control of our own media, we can control our narratives and make sure that our communities are uplifted and empowered! As Malcolm X once said, “The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent.” By working with this team, you can help us reclaim our stories and prioritize our people!
