On
today’s Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about the massive Chevron
oil refinery fire in Richmond , which sent smoke clouds over large
portions of the Bay Area. Over 900 residents went to the hospital
complaining of respiratory problems and eye irritation. How are
communities reacting? Join us at 10 or email

need to know about the history of Chevron and how it operates today?
It’s Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
