Rally with Amazonian Leaders to Tell California to Go Fossil Fuel-Free!

05/11/2018 Nativegrl77

California’s oil and gas production is harming communities from the Ecuadorian Amazon to Richmond, California. Gloria and Manari Ushigua, Sápara indigenous leaders, will join Bay Area allies to expose the impacts of the fossil fuel economy on both people and our shared planet.

We will gather outside of the Chevron refinery in Richmond – one of the state’s biggest polluters – to highlight that company’s toxic legacy in Ecuador and its role in causing ongoing destruction from the Amazon to California.

Thursday, May 17th @ 8 am

Chevron Refinery
525 Castro Street in Richmond
