Oakland Airport is planning an expansion to add 17 new gates putting the community and climate at risk. We urge the Port of Oakland to stop the planned Oakland Airport expansion for these ten reasons: 1. We are in a dire climate emergency and flying fries the planet. More Flights = More Global Warming 2. Environmental Justice: refinery to runway, aviation exposes frontline communities to air pollution and health risk. More Flights= More Pollution 3. Aviation is hard to decarbonize and biofuels are not the answer. 4. It’s too much noise. More Flights = More noise. 5. Sea level rise threatens shoreline development. 6. Labor rights are at stake. 7. Inequity: flying is an elite privilege with high costs for everyone else. 8. We have alternatives. Invest in Rail. 9. We have alternatives like remote business and conferencing. 10. We need to shift towards climate-just transportation.
