"Decades of trying to avoid prosecution, decades of exploiting its vast resources in court, and decades of ignoring the cries of its victims: in that sense, Chevron is the Harvey Weinstein of environmental degradation. Just like Weinstein, it's looking to evade justice."

– Alec Baldwin

Today, our calls for justice for Ecuadorians are amplified. In a full-page ad in the Financial Times, 29 Nobel laureates joined with artists Alec Baldwin and Roger Waters demanding that Chevron face justice for its deliberate pollution of the Amazon and calling for an end to the house arrest of human rights lawyer Steven Donziger.

Donziger was a lead lawyer in the $9.5 billion judgment against Chevron for dumping 16 billion gallons of toxic oil waste in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

Chevron was found guilty and ordered to clean up its mess. Instead of addressing the humanitarian and environmental crisis it caused, the company fled Ecuador and launched a new legal battle aimed to bury the case in litigation. One of its main retaliation efforts includes a campaign to “demonize Donziger.” It relies on the complicity of a U.S. federal trial judge to intimidate Donziger, ultimately preventing Ecuadorians from seeing justice.

Donziger has now been under house arrest for over 250 days for refusing to turn over his computer, cell phone, and confidential case files to Chevron. He is the only lawyer in U.S. history who has ever been detained pretrial on a contempt charge. This abuse must end. Chevron must be held accountable.
