Megaship impacts start in Oakland and cascade throughout the region, harming people along the freight corridor.
A large contrainer ship assisted by tugboats maneuvers towards the dock at the Port of Oakland in Oakland, Calif., on April 4, 2023. With smoke blanketing the East Coast from Canadian wildfires, the dangers of polluted air are at the forefront of millions of Americans’ minds. This is something Californians are all too familiar with, but it’s also a danger that people in my West Oakland community face even outside of wildfire season.
These impacts will spill first and foremost into West Oakland, which has fought for years to address a legacy of environmental racism and toxic air pollution. For decades, my community has disproportionately experienced health risks and lower life expectancy due to pollution exposure. As a West Oakland community leader, I want the Army Corps to redo its analysis and produce a complete environmental impact statement that properly analyzes the air quality, public health, environmental justice and other impacts of this dangerous project.
