Hosted by Ceres Policy Research, in partnership with Chevron Richmond Refinery, this Community Town Hall is part of the ongoing agreement with the Air District, aimed at increasing public transparency and engagement related to Chevron’s efforts to minimize flaring and air quality-related regulatory compliance.
Building on conversations from our previous town halls, this meeting invites Richmond residents to stay engaged, informed, and vocal about what matters most in their neighborhoods.
