Frontline Community Led Kayak-tivists with Message for Chevron

"CHEVRON: 120 YEARS OF HARM. IT STOPS NOW."

 

On Saturday, August 6, hundreds of Richmond, California residents and people from all over the Bay Area came together to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the 2012 Chevron Refinery Fire that sent over 15,000 people to the hospital.

 

Community led Kayak-tivists paddled to Keller Beach in Point Richmond with flags spelling out "CHEVRON: 120 YEARS OF HARM. IT STOPS NOW." The flags were handed off to community members waiting on the beach who then joined the larger march headed to the gates of Chevron Refinery, where street murals and a public art installation (The Fenceline Project) were in progress.

 

The message to Chevron - "we REFUSE another 120 years of violence on our bodies, our communities, our air."

 

“120 years of broken promises, no accountability, profit at the expense of our health and climate. Our health is not for sale!”
