Oppose Federal Funding for Coal Trains

Please join us in writing to the Department of Transportation urging them to deny a loan application from Mendocino Railway (aka the Skunk Train) for funding from the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) program. Visit here for details.

Dear Trail Friends,

No Coal In Humboldt is a growing coalition of health, environmental, faith, business, and community groups across the North Coast of California that believe in the power of clean energy and the value of clean water. We oppose new coal export infrastructure that will pollute our air and water, harm our communities and worsen the impacts of climate change. We support and build on the work of ally coalitions No Coal in Oakland, No Coal in Richmond, and Power Past Coal. We strongly support converting the NCRA right-of-way into the Great Redwood Trail.

Please join this coalition as an individual. Visit No Coal In Humboldt and scroll down to “Take Action” and sign up to receive updates and opportunities to stand up against coal in our community.

If you represent a group and would like to join as an organization, please contact Karen Underwood. Include a phone number with your email for a call back. Thank you for your support!!!

Below are some photos from the Baykeeper’s King Tide Photo Project. Transporting and burning coal adds to the effects of sea level rise shown here and threatens the Bay Trail.
