WTF Is Up With All The Cursing Arrests In Galveston County?
Believe it or not, a third person has been ticketed for cursing in public in Galveston County.
First it was Kathryn Fridge, arrested for dropping an F-bomb in a La Marque Wal-Mart. Then it was the guy from Queens, ticketed for talking like a guy from Queens, in a Galveston diner.
Now it's a Texas City man, who neighbors say constantly "used the S-word" in discussing how he didn't like their cats defecating in his yard.
Joesph Loflin was cited for disorderly conduct by Texas City police after the dispute, the Galveston County Daily News reports.

Loflin, a former cop, says he's baffled and wasn't shouting during the exchange.
The neighbor -- who happens to deliver papers for the News -- says Loflin kept using the word, even though the neighbor's 13-year-old daughter was present.
Apparently the two neighbors have been feuding for a while.
Loflin is demanding his day in court.
"I was a cop seven years, with the Galveston County Sheriff's Office and College of the Mainland, and I would have never written that stupid ticket," Loflin told the News.
That's "stupid fucking ticket," Loflin. Get it right.
At any rate, consider yourself warned: If you head down the Gulf Freeway, please adopt a Leave It To Beaver approach to language. For crissake.

TCR Friday Notes
Q: Do you really think we need a panel of people, including Bill James, to figure out statistics and steroids? In Ball Four, you talked about players in the 1960's taking pep pills called greenies. And if you have a panel that is going to evaluate statistics based on cheating, are you going to alter Gaylord Perry's numbers? (David Block- Brooklyn, NY) A: Greenies were performance enablers (usually to overcome the effects of hangovers), not enhancers. Gaylord Perry's spitters were in plain view, and the unwritten rule was that if you could master it and get away with it, more power to you. In any case, batters could factor spitball pitchers it into their play. Steroids, on the other hand, are a secret weapon that force non-users to take health risks in order to compete. Historical analogies - advantages or disadvantages due to shorter seasons, no night games, travel, racial barriers, etc. - aren't relevant because, in each case, players of a particular era played under the same conditions. What distorts statistics is unfair (and hidden) competition within the same era.- As we all patiently wait for the gremlins to be removed from the servers, you can find a new blogroll by clicking on the "Friends" link underneath the mysterious "Authors" box to the right. The layout kind of sucks and the category headings are ginormous but I think you'll find some interesting stuff. - As I was poking around the web, there were a few members of the Cubs blog army that I found something worth reading, so I thought they deserved a shout out. So go check out Cubs Cafe, A Hundred Next Years, Wrigleyville23 and the (mostly) satirical Fire Lou Piniella! and say hi. - More Cubs blog news, former TCR writer Derek Smart has added Phil Bencomo to the writing staff of Cub Town, formerly of Cubbiepalooza. From Mr. Smart himself though, I found this bit of self-reflection good for a laugh-out loud moment:
One of the tendencies of the blogging community, something we do with regularity and lustful aplomb, is take comments by players/management/MSM writers that are, in our humble opinion, intellectually substandard, and with our combination of rapier wit, flawless logic, and overwhelmingly massive capacity for holding onto petty grudges, craft a response that leaves the originator bleeding and trembling jelly-like on the point of our word-swords (a construct we know is imaginary, since it requires the target to have read the salvo, and as all of us who read blogs know, nobody reads blogs).- I've been meaning to mention this for months and I'm losing karma points each time I forget, but the good fellas at GROTA have put together a fund that they plan to present to Derrek Lee at the Cubs Convention to help with his Project 3000. If you have the means, help a fella and his family out. - If I get a moment before Sunday morning to look at some chat programs, I'll throw something up on Sunday for those who want to talk during the Bears game. Otherwise reader Chad has his own Bears chat site we can all congregate to as well. - Not to get all "The Bears Reporter" on you, but these articles on Rex Grossman from "Kissing Suzie Kolber" are some of the funniest reads I had all week. (NSFW most likely). - And your standard issue, Youtube clip of the week, this time Wrigley Field circa 1929.

Boy..I dunno if I agree with greenies not being performance enhancers. I understand the Gaylord Perry argument about the spitter, but I think that portion might be a tad off base.
However, if they are, you don't even want to think about how many guys would get suspended for it.
At the same time, I'd reckon at one point a few years back it was probably awfully close to an even playing field because nearly everybody used 'em.

re:26... doubt tomas is
doubt tomas is much more than AAA injury replacement and teaching fodder.
he is the type of veteran who you could keep in AAA to work with others.
i dont really see cedeno breaking with the team if izturis is healthy, honeslty...and i dont see tomas breaking with the team before cedeno gets his shot...his "many gloves" role is being filled by theriot, anyway.
maybe someone with more info
maybe someone with more info on Harben could tell us if he could benefit from a velocity increase with this TJ surgery?
Who couldn't benefit from a velocity increase?
Anyway the THT Annual has an essay on Tommy Johns surgeries and one of the symptoms of guys with UCL problems is often a drop in velocity and the TJ surgery tends to give it back to you, in some cases even increasing what you once had.
And I think I recall when the trade was made from some scouting reports that he'd lost some mph's from his fastball, fwiw.
Ichiro not happy in
Ichiro not happy in Seattle-
He would be a nice mid season pick up.
how much is left for
how much is left for longterm pickups, though?
none of us know and yeah...it could be countless.
there's still the "z issue" and the 08/09 payrolls are kinda scarey before Z even enters the money shuffle.
personally, its hard to even say something like this about the only true ace on the team, but i dunno if the cubs can keep Z at 17-18+m longterm and not become a 120+m team in the years to come.
the spending has been a nice surprise, but hardly any of it has been publicly announced and the ceiling of the spending is still a mystery.
A kind of funny Letterman
More offseason fun: a site traffic graph comparing the five major sports in the US -- notice how pronunciated are the spikes and depressions between offseason/regular season traffic and how Nhl.com was basically dead during the strike -- also, how all five sites are beginning to decline after a 2004-2005 peak. To my surprise, there's a clear winner, Internet traffic-wise, and it ain't baseball nor football.
Carlos, that's because the
Carlos, that's because the NBA season is in full swing, while the NFL season is winding down and the MLB season hasn't started yet. Look back at what sport was on top at different point in any given year, and it nearly always corresponds to whatever sport is "in season" for that time of year.
well if your talking about
well if your talking about the NBA being the clear winner it's pretty much because of Yao Ming..
although it seems to me that MLB and NBA kind of go back and forth. NFL is pretty much an American sport.
And MLS isn't a major sport, golf, Nascar, college football I would guess trump it easily, I'm sure they trump hockey as well by now.
Sunday Rogers Rumor: Your
Sunday Rogers Rumor:
Your favorite and mine, Phil Rogers today:
"If the Cubs are going to make a Jacque Jones trade before spring training, it probably will be with Pittsburgh. The Pirates are intent on adding a left-handed hitter and might be willing to give up one of their left-handed-hitting center fielders, Chris Duffy or Nate McLouth. "
Where does he get this stuff?
The Pirates don't want to
The Pirates don't want to trade Duffy, they like what they saw from him to end the year.
Plus it looks like he has outstanding speed. 26 SB's, 1 time caught stealing.
You want a realistic option that you might not be happy with? Colorado would like to move Wily Taveras for a hitter with some more pop.
Recent comments
Old news, sorry if it's 3/44-
J-Hey being classy by repaying an old teammate:
Ok... maybe.
With Paredes moving to 3B, how do you see playing time shaking out between him and Galindo? Do you think Galindo gets starts at 1B? Galindo is more of a prospect than Paniagua, right?
Phil, your knowledge of the Cubs Minor League system is unbelievable.
This kid would be a key piece in a trade for a pitcher, imo.
This might be old news but Hammel was on ESPN 1000 and said that he changed his diet and workout routine over the off season and tweaked his delivery so it'd be more repeatable so he'd have a better second half. So...some cause for optimism anyway.
CHILDERS: RHSP Dylan Cease and LHSP Bryan Hudson are probably the top two SP prospects in the organization right now.
LHSP Jose Paulino has electric stuff (91-94 MPH fastball with sinking action and a mid-80's slider), but he also has trouble commanding it.
RHP Jose Albertos (2015 IFA - Mexico - $1.5M bonus) just turned 17 in November, and his fastball already sits at 95-96. He also throws a curve and a change-up, and is fairly advanced for a kid his age.
AZBOBBOP: Most of 2016 draft picks will get assigned to either Eugene or AZL Cubs, but the Opening Day Eugune roster will probably be almost 100% from the Extended Spring Training squad roster (pending the arrival of draft picks).
I think I can probably tell you which pitchers and players at EXST are in contention for roster slots at Eugene and which are in contention for slots with the AZL Cubs - AS THINGS STAND RIGHT NOW - (listed alphabetically):
* bats or throws left
# bats both
Eloy Jimenez atop the leader board for minor-league home runs in the Cub system, with seven. Tied with Balaguert and Vogelbach, two 24-year-olds. Jimenez won't be 20 until late November. Leads the Midwest League in SLG and OPS. Maybe he'll get promoted to the Myrtle Beach squad that visits Woodbridge, VA, in June or Frederick, MD, in August.
Watched two Pelican games at Frederick the other week. Was most impressed by Stinnett and Happ. Happ may swing harder than Javier Baez, though more compactly. (Also got to see Brockmeyer hit a bomb.)
E-MAN: Jose Paniagua isn't a string-bean, but I wouldn't say he necessarily bulked-up during the 2015-16 off-season either, He led the DSL Cubs in HR and doubles in 2014, and he showed XBH power when he arrived in Mesa last year, leading the AZL Cubs in HR, doubles, and RBI in 2015. It's just that he has taken his HR power to a new level this year.
Paniagua displayed plus-HR power in Cactus League Minor League Spring Training games in March, and that got him a slot on the South Bend Opening Day roster. But he was sent to EXST after only six MWL games.
More on the Cub Way.
Martinez is one of my least favorite pitchers in baseball. I'd love to see a game like yesterday's against him.
Send Soler down!
Awesome thanks AZ
Great report, Phil! This organization has so many hitters to be excited about.
Ben Zobrist is very enjoyable to watch!!!!!!
given that he seems to only be throwing low 90s these days rather than the 93-96mph he used to throw, along with his wildness issues this year, he may end up passing through.
i dunno if something is wrong with him physically or his past shoulder issues has rendered him what he currently is, but he's been throwing a lot of sliders he can't control well and his fastball isn't as sharp. even when his slider wasn't working in a game he was still throwing a lot of them.

Home > Press > Peter Balbus Resigns as Chapter Chair and President of MIT Enterprise Forum of Chicago
Two-year tenure characterized by focus on innovation, dramatic organizational growth and increased chapter visibility in the greater Chicago business community.
The MIT Enterprise Forum (MITEF) of Chicago today announced the resignation of Peter Balbus as Chapter Chair and President, positions he has held with that organization since 2005. During his tenure, the organization implemented a highly successful membership program, growing from zero to nearly 300 active members in less than 18 months.
He repositioned the chapter, which had previously focused on connecting early stage start-ups with funding sources, to embrace a more sophisticated theme of innovation management and entrepreneurial activity in enterprises of all sizes. He also launched the MITEF Chicago signature "Below the Radar" Innovation Recognition program. That program recognizes outstanding examples of innovation in five categories: business model innovation, design innovation, technology innovation, innovation management and product/service innovation.
Under his leadership, MITEF Chicago also broadened its base of support from the business community of Chicago, successfully negotiating and sustaining sponsor relationships with a diverse range of organizations, including host sponsor Drinker Biddle Gardner Carton LLP, the British Consulate-General of Chicago, Mitsubishi International, Schwartz Cooper Chartered, Hostway, PRWeb, Vericron Printing, Arc Technology Group and JASE Consulting.
In his resignation letter, Balbus underscored his commitment to developing a unique community that shared a common interest in innovation but encompassed a broad range of industries and functional roles. That community has attracted the attention and interest of business, government and academic leaders who see the MITEF organization as a unique and valuable component of the Chicago business ecosystem. NBC-TV Channel 5 technology reporter Art Norman described MITEF Chicago in a recent broadcast as "The place where the best and brightest minds meet in Chicago."
Joe Hadzima, Chairman and President of the MIT Enterprise Forum, Inc. described Balbus' efforts as "Herculean" in developing new programs and recruiting new volunteers and sponsors in the Chicago area. Under Balbus' leadership, the chapter went from "ground zero to the highest rated chapter (literally) in the world - not even Cambridge scored as high."
In outlining his contributions to the organization, Antoinette Muller, Executive Director of the MIT Enterprise Forum, Inc. praised Balbus' efforts, asserting, "There will never be a volunteer that puts in as much energy, hours, talent, hard work, and caring thought - I have always admired that about Peter. We will reap the benefits for years to come."
MITEF Chicago chapter vice chair and board member Scott Oldach, a former IBM senior executive and co-founder of IBM's Global Consulting Group, said of his association with Balbus, "It has been a real pleasure to work with and get to know Peter over the past two years through our volunteer activities at MITEF Chicago. I have been impressed by his ability to articulate a compelling vision of the organization's future and then enroll volunteers in the successful effort to achieve and surpass that vision through his passion for excellence, organizational management and individual coaching skills. He leaves behind shoes that will be very difficult to fill with a team of people, let alone a single successor."
Balbus' commitment to building an innovation community is grounded in his lifetime professional interest in innovation management - the confluence of business strategy and emerging technology commercialization. Following a 15-year career as a senior practitioner and practice leader for some of the world's most prominent consulting firms including KPMG Strategic Services, CSC Index and Booz Allen & Hamilton, he founded Pragmaxis, LLC a boutique consulting firm that specializes in helping senior executives define and implement open innovation programs in corporations of all sizes. As Managing Director of Pragmaxis, Balbus has recently narrowed the firm's focus to commercial applications of nanotechnology, including carbon nanotube materials and products, printed electronics and thin film coatings.
About MIT Enterprise Forum

Reading the coverage of the Tennessee Titans…
One-time defensive captain Colin McCarthy is now in a fight for a roster spot, says John Glennon of The Tennessean. "Can Colin win the starting job?" said defensive coordinator Ray Horton. "Well, sure he can. And we are grading them by what they do right here."
Practice observations from Wednesday from Glennon.
Jackie Battle says he's never going to be comfortable about having a roster spot in hand, says David Boclair of the Nashville Post.

Pentagon Ordered to Expand Syria Target List, Mulls Doubling Attack Force
Escalation on the Agenda
Starting with a handful of warships and a promise of "punishing" attacks that did little to nothing to change the face of the ongoing civil war, the Obama Administration seems determined to keep escalating the planned Syrian War, even before they get authorization to engage in it.
After adding a whole carrier strike group, including the USS Nimitz, to the area over the weekend, the Pentagon is now reportedly giving serious consideration to "doubling" its overall firepower for the war with the addition of significant Air Force deployments.
The Pentagon is also saying that it has been ordered to expand it's potential target list, initially said to center around 50 or so places that the US planned to lob missiles at, though they still maintain the operation would be "limited" in nature.
Even more disturbing, officials also say that there is a renewed push to get NATO on board, with the administration arguing that NATO assets are needed to conduct the broader war. With considerable opposition internationally and domestically, it's hard to see how they could get NATO on board, but that it is being discussed suggests the administration remains determined to start a war and escalate it.

Title: Wildflowers after controlled burn in New Braunfels, TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I live in the Hill Country a few miles north of New Braunfels. As soon as we get enough rain to lift our burn ban, I will be thinning out some of my Ashe juniper and will do some burning in the open meadows. I would like to plant wildflowers in these meadows in the winter of 2009 - 2010. Can I plant the wildflowers or do I need to wait longer after burning?
The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in an active participant in Fire Ecology. One of the things we have learned is that fire is a natural element in Nature, and that it is ordinarily beneficial. We have test areas at the Center, and have learned that within a month of a controlled burn, the native plants will be coming back. Assuming we ever have enough rain to permit a controlled burn, you should have no problems seeding the wildflowers in late Fall, usually the best time to do so in Central Texas.
We do want to caution you that "controlled" is a key word. Just because a burn ban has been lifted does not mean that a wildfire is safe. Have plenty of help to control the fire, and never even consider doing it if it is a windy day. You may still need a burn permit in your area, and we recommend that you contact local fire departments to determine the safety and legality of your plan.

Report on the Richmond National Convening
The Our Power Campaign National Convening kicked off with more than 450 frontline community members from across the country joining together in Richmond, CA to "build the bigger we" for a just transition toward local, living economies. Co-hosted by the Richmond Environmental Justice Coalition (REJC) and the national Climate Justice Alliance (CJA), we'd like to give our thanks to the many dedicated community members who gave so many hours to the success of our convening on August 6-9.
We kicked off the week with a public vigil commemorating the 2012 Chevron refinery explosion that sent 15,000 Contra Costa county residents to the hospital. We spent three beautiful days together to educate, inspire and strategize with one another, including a powerful plenary on the history of the environmental justice movement, some of which we captured on film. We ended three days later with a vibrant day of action and art on the Richmond Greenway.
Don't miss the beautiful "storify" created by Ellen Choy at Movement Generation, that tells the story of the Richmond convening using social media, photographs, videos, and press articles.
We are also very fortunate that highly talented photographers contributed their time and energy to photo-documenting the convening and day of action.

Richmond National Convening
Background Information
Basic Info & Goals
Date: Aug 6-9, 2014
Location: Peres Elementary School (719 5th Street, Richmond, CA)
The 2014 Our Power National Convening seeks to:
- Highlight and build the Our Power Campaign in Richmond
- Strategize across frontline communities impacted by fossil fuels
- Build relationships to deepen and expand the Our Power Campaign locally in Richmond and Nationally
- Expand the Our Power base of supporters locally, nationally, and internationally
- Grow grassroots knowledge and skills building to WIN
The 2014 Our Power National Convening will unite local and national frontline communities, community-based organizations, environmentalists, labor unions, climate activists, food justice groups, and our allies to advance a Just Transition strategy that serves our communities, heals the planet, empowers the people and improves our quality of life. Just Transition is the pathway from a pollution-based extractive economy (dependent on energy like nuclear, fracking, and dirty Tar Sands oil) to implementing a strategy to build local living economies that is environmentally grounded, produce community wellbeing, democratize decision-making, and promote local control of resources (including land, water, and food systems).
The 2014 Our Power National Convening is hosted by the Richmond Environmental Justice Coalition (REJC), along with the Climate Justice Alliance (CJA). The Our Power Campaign is a growing national movement led by the Climate Justice Alliance, working to build interconnected power bases of impacted communities across the US to end the era of extreme energy and implement a Just Transition to local living economies.
Richmond, California is one of a growing number of "Our Power Communities" of the Our Power Campaign and is home to the 3,000 acre Chevron Oil Refinery – one of the largest stationary greenhouse gas emitters in the State of California, causing profound respiratory and health illnesses. Richmond is at the frontline of climate struggles and challenging a pollution based economy. Our grassroots environmental justice community is building our organizing power with community members and partners towards making a healthy, clean, green, democratic and equitable economy for Richmond.
The Our Power National Convening will have a special focus on bringing together frontline communities impacted by fossil fuel infrastructure projects like crude and coal by rail, refinery expansions and pipelines, while centering community-led, solution-oriented just transition strategies. The REJC, which is developing a Just Transition platform, is working to create jobs that foster healthy communities in Richmond by building up the local economy through the arenas of clean community power, local food systems, cooperatives and strengthened housing rights, while addressing pollution, health, and safety issues at the Chevron refinery and in the community.
The National Our Power Convening will have over 350 local and national participants from frontline communities and allies from across the country who are organizing to build healthy and more resilient communities while fighting back against climate destructive projects in their community. One of the main goals of the convening is to prioritize frontline communities and communities of color. Existing national partners and members of the Our Power Campaign from the Climate Justice Alliance and Grassroots Global Justice membership will be given priority. Space is limited.
August 6 – 9, 2014
Richmond's Our Power Convening will take place over four full days of activity:
- DAY ONE & DAY TWO: Building Our Power: Sharing Solutions, Strategies & Skills for a Just Transition: Strategy sessions on just transition including clean community power, local food systems, zero waste, worker cooperatives, and non-extractive financing models.
- DAY THREE: Connecting Our Power to Challenge Fossil Fuels Infrastructure: Strategy session across Our Power communities and further development of national policy agenda.
- DAY FOUR: Power Without Pollution: Communities United for a Just Transition – Mass Mobilization with hundreds of Bay Area and national allies taking action for an economy for life.
These strategies will be thematic threads throughout the convening.
- Organize to Stop the Bad: Taking Action Against Polluters and the Extractive Economy
- Organize to Build the New: Creating an Economy for Life
- Organize to Move the Money: Divestment from Fossil Fuels & Investment to Community Economies for Life
- Organize to Strengthen Democracy & the Public Sector: Labor and Electoral Power
- Organize to Change the Rules: Policy, Law, and Legislation
- Organize to Change the Story: Change the Frame to Our Power
- Skill-Share Themes: Direct Action, Organizing and others
Day of Action!
Held on the last day of the Our Power National Convening, the Day of Action will amplify the grassroots-led solutions of Richmond and other communities on the frontlines of energy injustice and social injustice. From a Chevron-dominated city government to a majority progressive city council and a green party mayor, the community has galvanized to take back the city. Communities are taking action to directly meet their needs by creating jobs that foster healthy communities, by building up the local economy through clean community power, local food systems, worker cooperatives and strengthened housing rights, while addressing pollution, health, and safety issues at the Chevron refinery and in the community.

Richmond Background & Political Context
Richmond is a working class, and predominantly people of color community impacted by decades of environmental blight and economic divestment. It is home to a 3,000 acre Chevron Oil Refinery – one of the largest stationary greenhouse gas emitters in the State of California, causing profound cumulative health impacts, such as asthma, respiratory illnesses, and cancer affecting kids and families.
Nearly 80% of people living within one mile of the Chevron refinery are people of color and the majority are working class. So it comes as no surprise that Chevron's strategy has been to divide these communities – pitting workers against communities of color, prospective jobs against community health. For over a hundred years, Chevron has not only polluted Richmond's air, but also polluted its democracy by spending millions of dollars in local elections and manipulating the community with misleading advertising and puppet politicians. Richmond also suffers from high rates of unemployment and home foreclosures.
In the face of Chevron's pollution, Richmond, California community members are on the frontlines of organizing to create a healthy, democratic and equitable economy. This grassroots effort, driven by Richmond's progressive and working class community is leading Richmond out of the shadows of the Chevron Refinery and business as usual politics into the sunlight of a resilient and thriving community.
Richmond is ground zero to climate fights and protecting community health and safety from Big Oil. Our grassroots environmental justice community built organizing power and filed a lawsuit in 2009 that halted the expansion of Chevron's dirty energy project, resulting in preventing nearly 1 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions. We are the first responders fighting for workers and community health and safety on the state, regional and local level after the August 6th, 2012 Chevron refinery explosion that sent 15,000 residents and 19 workers to seek medical attention. We recently sued Kinder Morgan and the regional air district seeking to rip to shreds their permit to allow further shipments of "highly flammable" Bakken crude oil by rail to a Richmond fuel trans-loading facility that sits near an elementary school.
The Richmond community has welcomed the vision of a just transition. Richmond is currently the largest city in the United States served by a Green Party Mayor committed to climate protection, green jobs, greening the city, and clean energy. It also is the first majority people of color community in the nation to have Community Choice Energy that permits the city to create local clean renewable energy projects for residents, businesses and municipal facilities and to facilitate the purchase and sale of electricity. We have a growing and robust urban agriculture and workers cooperative movement. We are working with community members and our local partners towards making a healthy, clean, green, democratic and equitable economy for Richmond.
Chevron recently release their draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for a new dirty oil expansion project. Chevron is using hundreds of thousands of dollars on public relations to manipulate the public. This new project would emit more than 700,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions and increase additional toxic air contaminants. We are mobilizing to ensure the (EIR) is corrected, reduce pollution, increase clean energy alternatives and protect workers and community health and safety.
In addition, this is a major election year in Richmond. Five of seven City Council seats are up for election in 2014, spelling a potential seismic shift in the composition of city government. With Chevron having a history of spending millions in the elections and influencing local, regional and state politics, this the core political context of our building a just transition movement.
At the heart of our movement is organizing Richmond community members to be the leaders of this struggle. As a diverse and progressive community, we have been resisting fossil fuel companies and the Extraction Economy for generations. This is a critical time to organize, inform and educate the Richmond community, region and the nation; and the Our Power Gathering is a place to catalyze our vision for a Just Transition.
Richmond Environmental Justice Coalition: Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN), California Nurses Association, Communities for a Better Environment (CBE), Richmond Progressive Alliance (RPA), Urban Tilth, 350 Bay Area and the Sunflower Alliance.
We have a vision for building a just and sustainable city that will improve the health and quality of life for all Richmond residents. We must divest from unsustainable fossil fuel energy, corporate power, and the focus on profits at the expense of people. Instead, we can transform Richmond by investing in jobs and the economy, health and safety, strengthening our communities, and acting on climate change. The return on this investment will be measured in the long-term viability of our community and the planet. We must restore democratic participation in transitioning to an economy with quality jobs that support families while meeting our needs for safe housing, clean water, healthy food, inspiring education, access to education, long-lasting goods, and meaningful work. Richmond is leading the way for a just transition – getting to work developing local living economies that foster community resilience.
The people of Richmond have begun a Just Transition away from dirty energy and dirty dealing to local living economies. Together, we are ready to energize the future by:
- Stopping Chevron's and others dirty energy and dirty dealing. For too long, the industrial economy of the Chevron refinery and other corporate entities has failed to meet the needs of Richmond's working class communities. Chevron's pollution has caused danger for our workers, asthma for our children, economic insecurity for our residents, and an ecological crisis for our planet.
- Stabilizing housing and making sure people can stay in Richmond. The City of Richmond was hard-hit by the housing crisis, and we need to stem the hemorrhaging. Nearly half of all homes here in Richmond with mortgages are underwater, and many are expected to go into foreclosure.
- Getting ourselves out from under corporations and fostering a local economy. We're not going to sit back and let corporations run our city. We're going to stand up to Wall Street, stand up to Chevron, and stand up FOR our community.
