On Saturday, March 15th, a thousand people rallied in Richmond, California, in an antiwar demonstration and specifically targeted the Chevron refinery in the town. Once the speakers - including the mayor of Richmond - were through, the crowd marched to the refinery. 75 protesters sat down and blocked the refinery’s entrance. By nightfall, 24 people still refused to budge, and were arrested. All were released within a few hours. (For more info & photos, a Bay Area activist webpage has them, go here.)
