Separation of Oil & State

Want a perfect afternoon buzzkill? Grab your black hat and be at the California state Capitol's north steps by high noon on Thursday, July 11, to make a STATEMENT against BIG OIL. (Yes, this is all-caps important.) The one-hour Separation of Oil & State wants to expose the dirty dealings between oil lobbyists and politicians by having black-clad marchers represent “a human oil slick.” It's free and for a good, angry cause. Call (916) 541-1373 for more information.
