Wear Red!
We want to draw massive attention to this issue, just as we did in 2019 when XR members were arrested on the railroad tracks.
We need to convince DEQ to NOT issue this permit.
We need to fill the testimony slots with 2 minute testimonies against the granting of the permit.
Zenith currently needs an important air quality permit from Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to continue operating, and we have until May 30th to get as many comments on the public record showing why this permit should be denied. For nearly 7 years, dozens of organizations, including labor unions, neighborhood associations, environmental advocacy organizations and thousands of Portlanders have been opposing Zenith Energy: a Houston-based oil company that’s been transporting 300 million barrels of fossil fuels annually through our community to their storage terminal in NW Portland. This is a moment where we have the opportunity to stop Zenith for good, so join us in filling the auditorium on May 12 and making our voices heard!
