NO TO CHEVRON!    NO TO
TAR SANDS OIL!   STOP CLIMATE CHAOS!   YES TO CLEAN ENERGY!  
  
MARCH, RALLY AND Non-Violent DIRECT ACTION
AT CHEVRON
10 AM, Saturday August 3rd - Richmond BART 
…JOIN
US – CLICK TO RSVP…   
On Saturday August 3, we will come together to challenge international corporate criminal Chevron at the
gates of its Richmond, California refinery.  Summer Heat
Richmond will commemorate the infamous explosion and
fire of a year ago, whose toxic mushroom cloud sent 15,000 Richmond residents to emergency rooms and is still causing serious health problems. 
Chevron has failed to replace the sulfur-corroded pipes that led to
the explosion, and it plans to bring in yet more high-sulfur,
carbon-intensive tar sands crude for refining, with serious
potential impacts on Bay Area air quality.  Join this family-friendly
event in saying NO
WAY to tar sands and even dirtier fracked crude, and to demand a swift
and just transition to a sustainable clean-energy economy. 
This high-profile mobilization, part of 350.org’s
nationwide Summer Heat campaign, brings together over
50 local and national organizations: the Richmond Progressive
Alliance, Communities for a Better Environment, the Asian Pacific
Environmental Network, the California Nurses Association and many
local unions, as well as national environmental networks and social
justice organizations. 
A march through Richmond to the refinery gates will be followed by
a rally featuring Richmond Mayor Gayle McLaughlin and climate
champion Bill McKibben.  Along the route we will hear
moving testimony from survivors of the Richmond refinery fire. 
The march (led by a children’s brigade) and rally will conclude
with nonviolent direct actions carried out by affinity groups, some
involving sunflowers, known for their ability to
absorb heavy metals from the soil.  If you want to be part of these or
develop your own creative, nonviolent actions, please attend nonviolence
trainings.  These actions will be carried out peacefully and
carefully separate from those who cannot or do not wish to risk
arrest.
