Richmond
Also known as: Richmond, CA, Richmond, California
An East Bay city (~115,000) in Contra Costa County, on the Richmond peninsula in San Francisco Bay. Industrial-port history — the site of the Richmond Shipyards (Rosie the Riveter / WWII Home Front National Historical Park) and the Chevron Richmond Refinery, one of the largest oil refineries in the western U.S. and a longstanding environmental-justice flashpoint. The directory's Richmond anchor is Urban Tilth, Doria Robinson's community-based urban-agriculture organization addressing the city's food-apartheid landscape.
What this is
Richmond is an East Bay industrial-port city north of Berkeley, with a complicated history: WWII Home Front shipyard center (Rosie the Riveter), home to the Chevron Richmond Refinery (one of the largest in the western U.S., a recurring environmental-justice and air-quality flashpoint), and a majority-people-of-color city facing the food-apartheid conditions that led to Urban Tilth‘s founding in 2005.
