California is the largest destination for crude oil exports from the Amazon rainforest. On average, the state receives 50% of the crude oil extracted from the Amazon each year. It ends up connected to brands that we all know well, such as Chevron, Amazon.com, and Costco.
California plays an outsized role in the consumption of oil from the Amazon rainforest, which means that the state's government holds a crucial role in ending the extraction. You can use your voice to make it listen, wherever you are!
Last week, we launched a groundbreaking report in collaboration with Stand.earth which reveals the direct connection from oil extraction in the Amazon rainforest to corporate consumers in California. The report exposes the devastation this causes to Indigenous communities and our shared global climate. We must end California's complicity in this mutual destrction.
The fossil fuel industry attempts to deflect responsibility onto the individual consumer, but it doesn't even want us to know where its products come from. When we understand more, we can come together and act collectively to end this toxic cycle.
Sign the pledge to join this struggle to end Amazon crude consumption in California!
