For years now, local developer Phil Tagami has been embattled in a lawsuit with the city over a lease granted to him by the City of Oakland at the West Gateway on the waterfront of West Oakland – to build the Oakland Global Trade and Logistics Center. It is here he that wants to orchestrate the shipping of coal from Utah right through West Oakland. Not only has Tagami been embroiled in a battle with the city – he has been embroiled in a battle with Oaklanders who don’t want coal pollutants running through their community. We’re joined by Sejal Choksi-Chugh, Executive Director of SF Baykeeper since 2015, along with Ryan Nicole, a grammy-nominated rapper and an Oakland artist, actress, athlete and activist, who recently released an environmental anthem called Small but Mighty.
