Steve Early: Refinery Town

Refinery Town: Big Oil, Big Money, and the Remaking of an American City chronicles the fifteen years of successful community organizing that raised the local minimum wage, defeated a casino development project, challenged home foreclosures and evictions, and sought fair taxation of Big Oil and Big Soda. Part urban history, part call to action, Refinery Town shows how concerned citizens can harness the power of local politics to reclaim their community and make municipal government a source of much-needed policy innovation. Steve Early, author of Refinery Town, has been an organizer, lawyer, union representative, and labor activist for the past forty-five years. He lives in Richmond, California, with his wife, Suzanne Gordon.
