 Full group unites for mural and fencelines art\n\n\n\nOn Saturday, August 
 6, hundreds of Richmond residents are coming together to commemorate the 
 10-year anniversary of the 2012 Chevron Refinery Fire.  We will be marching 
 to Chevron to send a message that we REFUSE another 120 years of violence 
 on our bodies, our communities, our air. \n\n On August 6, 2012, a massive 
 fire tore through the Chevron Richmond refinery, sending a huge plume of 
 black smoke over West Contra Costa County. The fire blanketed neighborhoods 
 in black smoke and the sky turned dark as the smoke blocked out the sun. 
 15,000 residents sought medical treatment, and many report developing 
 long-term respiratory issues as a result.\n\n In the aftermath of the fire, 
 thousands of people mobilized to City Hall, demanding that our politicians 
 and air regulators take real action to hold Chevron accountable and protect 
 the health and safety of workers and communities.  Investigators with 
 Cal/OSHA and the U.S. Chemical Safety Board found that Chevron had ignored 
 a decade of warnings about severe corrosion in the pipe that caused the 
 refinery fire.  \n\n In a 2017 interview with NBC Bay Area, Garrett Brown, 
 a senior safety official with Cal/OSHA at the time of the fire, said 
 “That pipe had gone from a quarter-inch thick to no thicker than a Coke 
 can,” he said. “Management was willing to endanger the lives of Chevron 
 employees, contractor employees and the community at large in order to save 
 a few dollars by not shutting down a unit so it could be properly repaired 
 and maintained. And that’s a decision they make for pure corporate profit 
 reasons.”\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2022/08/02/18851381.php
