Protest Chevron AUG. 15th Richmond California



Time for some ACTION!!! This weekend groups from all over the Bay area will be convening at the Richmond BART Station to protest against Chevron and make sure they don't forget how they are polluting not only Richmond, California but places where Black, Brown and Yellow people live all over the world.

Organizer and U.S. Campaign Coordinator for the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives Ananda Lee Tan states, “People, not corporations, should drive the critical climate talks in Copenhagen,”

The protest at the Chevron Refinery on Saturday will begin at 11:30 AM with a festival and rally at the Richmond BART Station at 16th Street and MacDonald Avenue. It will include a march to the Chevron oil refinery and a non-violent civil disobedience action that could result in arrests.

But hey Checktheweather.net is not co-signing on anyone going out and getting arrested if you ain't got the bail money.

Not in the Bay? You can still make a difference RIGHT NOW Click on this link to send a letter to Chevron and see a picture of an old, ugly yet very rich white guy whose playing a role in giving your cousin asthma and contaminating the planet.
