WILMINGTON – More than 100 community members and environmentalists marched, June 26, to the Tesoro Refinery to protest the company's alleged hypocrisy in launching their Family Community Day.
Demonstrators rallied outside of the event underscoring their displeasure with Tesoro’s attempt to buy the community’s perception, stating the Family Community Day was insulting in lieu of the company’s spending to destroy Assembly Bill 32, a clean energy and clean air bill signed into law in 2006, by placing it on the November ballot.

The company invited the community to learn about the refinery, take a tour and visit information booths in their parking lots. The event also included jumper bounce homes for children. Attendees included workers and organization from Wilmington and Long Beach, some of which the company donates money to.
Tesoro spokespeople have not responded to requests for comments at this point.
