 967-7377)\n*AC transit bus #74 stops near by\n* Driving Directions: From 
 Oakland/East of Richmond:Take I-580 W. Take\nthe CUTTING BLVD exit toward 
 HARBOUR WAY SOUTH. Turn RIGHT onto\nCUTTING BLVD. Turn RIGHT onto MARINA 
 WAY S.\n\nNOTE: This is a KEY moment for community organizations who have 
 been\nfighting Chevron's DIRTY CRUDE refinery expansion for the long 
 haul\nand been strong allies for the anti-war and global justice 
 movements.\nTHEY NEED OUR SUPPORT AND A LOUD SHOW OF STRENGTH TONIGHT! This 
 is\nwhere the rubber hits the road in challenging the corporate 
 Chevron\nand big oil--whether around their drive to war and occupation, 
 their\ncreation of climate chaos or their poisoning of kids and all of us 
 in\nthe Bay Area\n\nTo be clear, the planning commission is rigged 
 pro-Chevron and we need\nto make it politically expensive when/if they 
 rubber stamp this deadly\nproject. The majority pro-Chevron Richmond City 
 Council has blocked\nevery City Planning appointment by Green Richmond 
 Mayor Gail\nMcLaughlin (the mayor appoints Planning Commission members) and 
 has\nchanged the term limits so the old Planning Commission members 
 can\nserve for life! As a result there are now only 4 Planning 
 Commission\nmembers and 5 vacancies on the 9 member Commission! Please come 
 when\nand for as long as you can and urge your friends to join 
 us!\n\nCommunity Demands:\n\nþ   No Increase In pollution! Reduce Current 
 Pollution Levels!\nþ   Environmental justice, worker justice and right to 
 know are a must!\nþ   Chevron's expansion must provide a meaningful public 
 review\nprocess, including considering alternatives to refining dirtier 
 crude!\nþ   Recirculation of the EIR!  Suspend the approval process 
 until\nthere is full disclosure of changes in crude oil stock & its 
 impacts!\n\nWe are encouraging all residents of Richmond and 
 surrounding\ncommunities (Bay Area-wide) to make testimony at this hearing. 
  Please\ndemand that the Planning Commission suspend the process, 
 recirculate\nthe Final EIR (environmental impact report) as it is missing 
 emissions\ndata and does not disclose the true scope of this 
 project.\nAdditionally, let them know that you don't want any dirtier 
 crude\nrefined in Richmond.\n\nFor Communities for a Better Environment
