Demand a Strong Clean Air Action Plan for Southern California
Target: Ports of LA and Long BeachSponsored by: Communities for Clean Ports
It’s a simple fact - port pollution kills.
Port pollution poisoning from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach affects the entire Southern California basin. And the costs are staggering: 2,400 premature deaths per year; cancer-risk rates up to 19 times higher than federal clean air standards; childhood asthma-related diseases at nearly double the national average; kids missing school and parents missing work; and health costs alone totaling $19.5 billion a year.

On November 20th, the Ports of LA and Long Beach will vote to pass the Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP) - our best chance to end Port Pollution Poisoning in Southern California. The Plan calls for proven, cost-effective alternative fuels and clean technologies to be adopted to reduce the pollution created by this $300 billion industry.
Sign our petition asking the Ports of LA and Long Beach to pass the Clean Air Action Plan, implement it immediately, and help make it safer for all Southern Californians to breath.
