Richmond Strong - Make Polluters Pay
This video was used as a tool for the Make Polluters Pay campaign. In August 2024, ACCE Richmond and local communities were prepared to take the fight to the ballot with the Make Polluters Pay campaign. Led by the Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN), the campaign aimed to impose a tax on oil refining in Richmond—holding polluters accountable while funding clean air and water initiatives, emergency services, healthcare, and youth programs. The video helped inform voters, amplify community voices, document local impacts, and mobilize turnout for the ballot measure.
