Refinery Town: How the Richmond Progressive Alliance took over the city Chevron used to own A talk by Steve Early and Melvin Willis (co-sponsored by PDA and DSA)
“These inspiring victories in Richmond would not have been possible without the prior development of a multi-issue, multi-racial progressive organization. Our country obviously needs a great deal of change at the state and federal levels. But laying a solid local foundation, like activists in Richmond have done, is an important first step toward overcoming working-class alienation from politics and resulting low voter-turnout rates.” —Bernie Sanders, from the Foreword to “Refinery Town”
