Raise your voice: We’re one step closer to stopping big coal!
Let’s get this over the finish line. Coal export in the Northwest was a bad idea from day one. Now we’re years into the fight and the smell of victory—not of dirty coal trains—is in the air. You know the drill: please submit your comment today and RSVP to attend the public hearing in Longview, Washington on October 24.
WHAT: Coal export public hearing hosted by Army Corps of Engineers
WHEN: Monday, October 24, 1-9 PM (rally at 4 PM, remember to wear red!) RSVP today!
WHERE: Cowlitz County Expo Center 1900 7th Ave, Longview, WA 98632
Can't make it? The Army Corps is hosting a second hearing on Tuesday, October 25th in Ridgefield, Washington. RSVP here for that hearing.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just released their draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed coal export terminal. The comment period and public hearing are critical events. With your help, we can block the last remaining coal export terminal in the Pacific Northwest.
Submit your public comment to block the proposed Millennium coal export terminal and RSVP to attend one or both of the public hearings in Longview, Washington on October 24 and in Ridgefield, Washington on October 25. (Longview is the priority if at all feasible for you.)
Last spring, the Washington Department of Ecology and Cowlitz County issued their draft EIS for the coal port and, with your help, we broke records—filing over a quarter million public comments, and packing hearings across Washington State. Each of these agencies –including the Army Corps of Engineers – are responsible for different permits for the proposed coal port and are looking at the environmental impacts through different lenses.
You can review the draft EIS here.
Now’s your chance to live up to our region’s reputation for standing up against dirty fossil fuels. Submit your comment today and RSVP to be part of the public hearings on October 24-25.
