Chevron has a history of dumping oil in our oceans around the world. On February 9th, 2021 about 600 gallons spill of oil near Chevron Richmond refinery occured in the San Francisco bays of California. Hold them accountable and make them clean up thoroughly. They put local Richmond residents and marine animals in danger. 

 I made this petition to make sure that Chevron Richmond refinery is held accountable for their own actions because they have a history of spilling oil all over the world and especially in the city of Richmond. In 2012, the Richmond Chevron refinery caused a disaster sending 15,000 residents to the hospital due to toxic smoke. Richmond has gone through so much that it's known to be a toxic land. There is a former Mayor named Gayle McLaughlin who has been fighting to end the Chevron refinery for many years because no human or animal deserves to live in a toxic land. This story has more than just Chevron cleaning up their oil spills, but for also hurting the city of Richmond. 

This oil spill will harm marine animals by causing severe damage to their habitats. The exposure to the oil will irritate the skin of marine animals and cause their organs to get infected, which is often a death sentence. For humans, being exposed to oil can cause liver damage, respiratory damage, reproductive damage, increase cancer risk, and decrease the immune system. This is absolutely unacceptable, and the corporation behind this needs to be held responsible. We need a change now! Please sign and share with others!
