Fossil-Free Future Festival:
Joyful Resistance to Chevron
When: Sunday, May 17 from 11:00am - 2:00pm
Where: Judge Carroll Park, W. Cutting Blvd & S. Garrard Blvd, Richmond, CA
Join us for a day of art, music, and community power to confront corporate abuse, uplift frontline leadership, and build toward a fossil-free future!
Chevron's shadow has loomed over Richmond since its inception, but now we are dreaming of a future beyond fossil fuels, where Richmond is for the People, Not Chevron.
We are gathering for a rolling festival and concert: live music from local artists and a giant statue will roll through the streets of Richmond to uplift the struggles of indigenous land and water protectors, organizers from the front lines here in Richmond and across the continent, to Chevron's role in attacks on Palestinians, and to bring art and joy to resisting Chevron's attempts to shape our local and global economies for their shareholders' profits.
Schedule of events:
11:00am - Indigenous Opening Ceremony at Keller Beach
12:00pm - Festival at Judge Carroll Park
1:00 - 2:00pm - Rolling Festival March
This festival is a celebration of our collective power to build the "sacred middle" work of transformation—ensuring that as we phase out fossil fuels, we cultivate a regenerative society that returns power to the people and puts the health of our earth above corporate profit.
