Gayle's December e-newsletter

Dear Friends,

Please join me on Wednesday, January 13, for an important community meeting. The Richmond Progressive Alliance (RPA) is hosting a meeting with the community to discuss a ballot measure that we're calling: End Chevron's Perk.

In November 2010, Richmond voters will finally have the opportunity to vote on a ballot measure that has been a long time coming.
(click here to read what this ballot measure will change . . . .)

That simply is NOT FAIR. (read what Chevron has been doing . . . .)

The fact that this "perk" has cost the City of Richmond hundreds of millions of dollars is unconscionable, but illuminating. (read why . . . .)

Please join us to learn more about this latest ballot measure as we continue to fight the good fight and hold Chevron's feet to fire for fair taxation with the End Chevron's Perk campaign (See details below). This is all part of a process of building definitive support for a just and equitable economic system. Corporate domination ends when you get involved.

Kick-off meeting for End Chevron's Perk campaign
Wednesday, January 13 at 7 pm
402 Harbor Way (across from Kaiser Hospital)
Richmond, CA

Sincerely,
Mayor McLaughlin

P.S. You may have heard that the judge ruled in Chevron's favor for Measure T (based on technicalities), but . . . . (continued . . . .)

December 2, 2004: "EPA - No Bark No Bite," read the banner. Community activists from the Richmond area denounced the agreement as an assault on their neighborhood. "I'm here to say this deal is a threat to our community," said Gayle McLaughlin, a Richmond City Council member who joined about two dozen demonstrators.
