Winning Richmond

For decades the Chevron oil refinery ruled Richmond, allowing heavy industries to poison the environment, causing great harm to the community's health and posing grave risks to their safety. A group of political activists, environmentalists, and social justice advocates formed a Progressive Alliance that took their city back from corporate interests. They transformed Richmond into a national leader in sustainability, equity and grassroots democracy, giving hope to communities throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, the state of California, and the world.Gayle McLaughlin was at the center of that long-term struggle, organizing with co-activists, going door-to-door campaigning and serving as the two-term Mayor of Richmond, California. This is her story. This is Richmond?s story.
