THE CAMPAIGN FOR CLEAN AND SAFE PORTS

CLUE-CA has worked in collaboration with the Partnership for Working Families to address the California Ports' interconnected economic justice and environmental challenges.

Truck drivers at the ports are independent contractors who earn less than $7 per hour and lack health insurance (only 10 % have health benefits). Their aging trucks increase air pollution and have been linked to higher local asthma rates.

In Long Beach, Los Angeles and Oakland, interfaith leaders have been working to bring an authentic faith voice to the issue.
