Join Urban Tilth and the Richmond Our Power Coalition, Saturday, August 6th, for the 10th Anniversary of the devastating fire at the Chevron refinery that spread a cloud of toxic smoke over Richmond, sending over 15,000 residents to local hospitals, as well as 2021 oil spill at Keller Beach where Chevron spilled 600 gallons of petroleum products into the San Francisco Bay.
Richmond’s fenceline communities believe that 120 years is enough, and the Climate Chaos must be stopped!
