"People in Berkeley waved signs at drivers from a highway overpass and set up outside a Chevron gas station this weekend to protest the fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer and the Trump administration's military actions in Venezuela. Chevron's Richmond refinery was the site of another protest aimed at the corporate giant. Chevron is the only U.S. oil company operating in Venezuela and poised to benefit from the U.S. intervention."
"The protests were among the hundreds planned for towns and cities across the country over the weekend. On both Saturday and Sunday afternoons in Berkeley, protesters gathered at the I-80 overpass at the north end of Aquatic Park, a site used by crowds during the No Kings rallies in June and October. Signs read No War and ICE murdered Renee Good, a reference to the Minneapolis woman who was shot in the head by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer on Wednesday"
Protesters in Berkeley and Richmond targeted Chevron and U.S. actions over a federal immigration killing and a U.S. military operation in Venezuela. Berkeley resident Tobey Weibe, 92, carried a sign previously used by her late husband in 2003 reading Imperialist America is humanity's number one enemy. Several hundred people gathered at Chevron's Richmond refinery, where police blocked roads from traffic. Protesters waved signs at drivers from the I-80 overpass at Aquatic Park, a site used during No Kings rallies. Signs read No War and ICE murdered Renee Good, referencing the Minneapolis woman shot by an ICE officer. The protest was organized by Visibility Brigade.
