Join SanDiego350 as we support Environmental Health Coalition in their fight to stop Mitsubishi Cement Corporation from further polluting their community. On December 13th, at 11:30am we will be rallying outside The Port Administration Building then moving inside at 1pm to make public comments in opposition to this project. You can join us for the rally or meeting or both!
Every day, Portside residents breathe in lung-damaging diesel pollution from heavy-duty trucks driving to and from the Port of San Diego. Mitsubishi Cement Corporation (MCC) wants to build a bulk cement warehouse and loading facility on the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal in Barrio Logan. If approved, it would add 4,000 to 10,500 heavy-duty diesel-polluting truck trips to our roads a month — less than 1500 feet from Cesar Chavez Park, within a half mile of both Perkins Elementary School and a densely populated residential community of color.
Please register now.

Please Note: Parking is limited and because of existing air pollution, attendees are encouraged to carpool or use public transit. The event is a 5 minute walk from the Middletown Station which is served by the Blue and Green Line Trolleys.
