Chevron refinery in Richmond, CA up in flames. Over 80% of residents in Richmond are people of color. Chevron poisons the world starting with it’s neighbors.

Demand environmental justice!! 

Source for 80% of population of Richmond being people of color.

Last night as Chevron struggled to contain a toxic fire at its California refinery, and a deadline passed in Ecuador for the oil company to pay the damages it owes to the Ecuadorian people, Amazon Watch’s Andrew Miller told Al-Jazeera: “You have to understand Chevron earns $85 million a day in profits, so they have the world’s best lawyers, the world’s best lobbyists, and they have the best PR firms. But what they don’t have is the moral authority of the plaintiffs on the ground – who are suffering health impacts, who are suffering cancer, they have the moral authority to continue.”
