""We stand united demanding an end to the Venezuelan occupation and the removal of reckless untrained ICE agents from our communities,""
""One of the things that we're fighting is how the Trump Administration is using these illegal power plays to destabilize Latin American countries in ways that are not foreign to us,""
""The U.S. has a long history of meddling in other countries around the world, specifically to open up those other places for resource extraction.""
Bay Area environmental groups will gather at Gate 14 of Chevron's Richmond refinery on Jan. 10 from 2 to 4 p.m. Participating groups include Bay Resistance, Asian Pacific Environmental Network, East Bay Democratic Socialists of America, and the Oil and Gas Action Network. The protest opposes the Trump Administration's actions in Venezuela, Chevron's operations in the country, and local pollution impacting the Richmond community. The action is part of a nationwide day of resistance that also responds to a fatal shooting by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. Organizers call for an end to the Venezuelan occupation and removal of reckless untrained ICE agents, asserting U.S. meddling aims to open countries for resource extraction and that Chevron, as the only U.S. oil company operating in Venezuela, stands to benefit.
