"Once I get through this, I have no doubt that Chevron will be paying this judgment and that thousands of Indigenous people and rural communities will have a clean environment and thousands of lives will be saved. That's what this is ultimately about."

On Friday, Steven Donziger passed 500 days of home detention for refusing to turn over his computer, phone, and passwords to be given to Chevron.

Donziger is a perfect example of the lengths to which the fossil fuel industry will go to deny communities justice. But we continue mobilizing, bringing to light Chevron's persistent attempts to evade responsibility.

As civil rights attorney Ron Kuby stated, "There has never been a misdemeanor defendant who has been held in home confinement for even as much as a day, let alone 500 days! The effect is to incapacitate, impoverish, and punish Steven, and most importantly, to prevent Steven from engaging in the legal and political work necessary to enforce the Chevron judgment."
