No War No Warming Protest at Richmond Chevron Refinery
Hundreds of people protested in Richmond on March 15th, 2008, to demand that Chevron stop stealing oil around the world while polluting our communities. The actions were in solidarity with the peoples, plants and animals of Ecuador, Nigeria, Burma, Iraq, Alberta and every other community exploited and poisoned by Chevron (Texaco, Unocal, etc!)

Y si no entiendes la cancion, debes que aprender español.
While hundreds of people converged on the Chevron Richmond Refinery, protests were taking place around the world against 5 years of war and occupation in Iraq, including a gathering called "Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan."
At the Winter Soldier gathering, hundreds of veterans of the two wars descended on the National Labor College in Silver Spring, Maryland to talk about what they saw, and did, in the name of America. Pacifica Radio carried the proceedings throughout the historic weekend. Why are (some) people 'surprised' that the tremendous G.I. resistance movement, specifically Winter Soldier, is being ignored by the (most) corporate media?

Thanks for stopping and saying hello to the Grannies along the march route, Bradley, and sorry you missed our stage performance at the earlier rally alongside hip hop artists, that had the Grannies hearts swelling with joy! The police wouldn't let the Grannymobile go through to the Direct Action site as we were at the very end of the march/caravan and transporting disabled Grannies instead of walking. Guess they think we are super dangerous as we are on multiple lists of activists to "watch out for". To think, at our ages too.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
