A forum about increased rail accidents, refinery dangers, and climate change. A panel of experts and activists will educate residents of Pittsburg and nearby communities on Big Oil’s plans locally, regionally, and globally.

Please join our panelists for presentations and Q&A:

A Pittsburg resident (TBD) involved in fighting the proposed WesPac project.
