DIRECT ACTION & RALLY: CHEVRON RICHMOND REFINERY
cosponsored by Direct Action to Stop the War, Greenaction, West County Toxics Coalition, Amazon Watch, Richmond Progressive Alliance, Richmond Greens, Community Health Initiative and Communities for a Better Environment.

11am­ Rally at Judge G. Carroll Park
W. Cutting Blvd & S. Garrard Blvd, Richmond

1pm­ Nonviolent Direct Action at Chevron Refinery
841 Chevron Way, Richmond
(Ongoing shuttle buses from Richmond BART)

The purpose of this action is shut the Chevron refinery down for the day, and to support community efforts to stop Chevron from expanding its refinery, which will increase pollution and cause asthma, cancer and rising death rates in surrounding communities. Chevron is driving the war and occupation in Iraq, refining over a million barrels of stolen Iraqi oil in Richmond a month, and actively lobbying for the privatization of Iraq's oil fields so companies like Chevron can seize control of them. Join us, and help send a clear message to Chevron: Stop stealing Iraqi oil, and stop polluting our communities!

We will shut down the Richmond Chevron refinery by land, by bike, and by sea. We’re asking that you form an affinity group, and help us shut down Chevron. Here’s some ways you can plug in and help out:

1. Get together with a group of your friends, and help blockade the refinery (please check in with the Chevron working group if you want to do this –
their email address is dasw.chevron [at] gmail.com).

2. Join the “bike brigade,” and help us block trucks from getting into the facility.

3. If you have a boat, you can join the “DASW Yacht Club,” and try to block Chevron tankers from accessing the facility!

4. If these options don’t sound appealing to you, there are many, many other important roles you can play in this action. Please come to the next
Chevron organizing meeting (check website for details).

5. If helping organize this action isn’t something you have time for, you can just show up at Carroll Park (W. Cutting Blvd. and S. Garrard Blvd.
in Richmond) on March 15th, at 11am. And please tell your friends!
