Sign this open letter to demand that Phil Tagami (CEO of OBOT and OGRE) and Vikas Tandon (CEO of the Autumn Wind Hedge Fund) drop their lawsuit, OBOT & OGRE v City of Oakland, and end their threat to turn Oakland into the largest coal exporting city on the West Coast.

We call on you -- Phil Tagami, CEO of OBOT and OGRE; and Vikas Tandon, CEO of the Autumn Wind Hedge Fund -- to dismiss your current lawsuit against the people of Oakland, and end your threat to build the West Coast's largest coal export facility on the City's waterfront.

By insisting on a right to ship coal when the world is turning away from coal, you and your respective companies are chasing quick construction / development profits while taxpayers will be left holding the bag when the coal export scheme collapses.

Oaklanders are eager to get to work on a plan that makes sense for one of the few remaining undeveloped parcels on our public waterfront. NO COAL IN OAKLAND!
