Richmond Our Power National Convening

Richmond Our Power National Convening

The Richmond Environmental Justice Coalition and CJA national leadership hosted the Richmond Our Power National Convening, where more than 450 frontline community members from across the country joined together to “build the bigger we” for a Just Transition toward local, living economies. Kicking off with a public vigil commemorating the 2012 Chevron refinery explosion that sent 15,000 Contra Costa county residents to the hospital, we spent three beautiful days together to educate, inspire and strategize with one another.. We closed the event with a vibrant day of action and art on the Richmond Greenway.
