Supporting Each Other in the face of #BigOil

Tonight I attended the public hearing for Philadelphia Port Authority’s proposed plan for one of their sites-- and I was not alone! Frankly, it was an opportunity for Philadelphians to say “We do NOT want another oil facility in our city; we want jobs and we want them to be clean.”

There were more than 100 people there, including several local politicians, and many climate-minded organizations were represented (including Moms Clean Air Force, PA Interfaith Power & Light, Green Justice Philly, 350 Philly, Clean Air Council, Earth Quaker Action Team, Action United, and more), plus many many concerned individuals. For an hour and a half, dozens of people took the chance to comment and ask questions about Philadelphia Energy Solutions’ plan for the Southport Marine Terminal Complex, currently a green space next to the Navy Yard. (Somebody actually suggested a public park, which I LOVE the idea of..)

This was a powerful experience. It really inspired me to be surrounded by people from such diverse communities with the same intentions-- to feel safe, healthy, and economically stable in the place we call home. One of the points that came up again and again is that those intentions and desires are not mutually exclusive-- we can have a healthier environment AND jobs!

This also inspired me to reach out to as many people as possible to show Senator Toomey how committed we are to a healthy future in the face of a changing climate, in the face of the fossil fuel industry, and in the face of the pride of corporate and governmental leaders who are focused on “business as usual”.

I’m energized by the turnout and the passion tonight, and I want us to follow up. (Their next board meeting is: 1pm 3/22 at 3460 N. Delaware Ave)

The Port Authority seems genuinely committed to at least seem like they’re being transparent about this whole process, and encouraged everyone to check out their website, and submit comments and questions to:

Kate Bailey,                   Director of Procurement                  Philadelphia Regional Port Authority                  3460 N. Delaware Avenue, 2nd Floor                  Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19134                  Email: [email protected]

Onward!

P.S. Did you know that 1 in 4 kids in Philadelphia have asthma, and that Pennsylvania pays $9.4 billion in pollution-related health care costs each year? (http://www.momscleanairforce.org/state-of-pennsylvania/)
