Fossil Free Future Festival: Joyful Resistance to Chevron

Fossil-Free Future Festival: Joyful Resistance to Chevron
Chevron's shadow has loomed over Richmond since its inception, but now we are dreaming of a future beyond fossil fuels, where Richmond is for the People, Not Chevron. We are moving from an extractive economy to a regenerative one, where our community owns its land, labor, and local food systems.

We are gathering for a rolling festival and concert: live music from local artists and a giant statue will roll through the streets of Richmond to uplift the struggles of indigenous land and water protectors, organizers from the front lines here in Richmond and across the continent, to Chevron's role in attacks on Palestinians, and to bring art and joy to resisting Chevron's attempts to shape our local and global economies for their shareholders' profits.

11:00am Indigenous Opening Ceremony at Keller Beach
12:00pm Festival at Judge Carroll Park
1:00pm - 3pm Rolling Festival March
This festival is a celebration of our collective power to build the "sacred middle" work of transformation—ensuring that as we phase out fossil fuels, we cultivate a regenerative society that returns power to the people and puts the health of our earth above corporate profit.

This event will be the 13th annual gathering of Anti-Chevron Day, which historically has uplifted voices of communities around the world that seek accountability from the global oil giant for the destruction they have caused.

Speakers will include:

Kanahus Manuel, Indigenous land defender of Tiny House Warriors, Alberta Canada
Donald Moncayo, President of Union de Afectados por Texaco (UDAPT), Ecuador
Steven Donziger, Lawyer targeted by Chevron
Richmond leaders Mayor Eduardo Martinez and Doria Robinson of the Richmond Our Power Coalition
