Chevron’s reputation as a price gouger, gross polluter, environmental racist, and greedy corporate behemoth with an army of unscrupulous lawyers and greenwashing PR firms grows worse by the day.

On Wednesday, May 25, Chevron held its annual shareholder meeting and faced a barrage of climate-related proposals and opposition. Chevron CEO Wirth simply buried his head in the sand and had nothing to say in response.

Chevron shareholders also received a message directly from the affected communities in Ecuador, who still suffer daily from the company’s admitted deliberate contamination. “I don’t know how many more people you want to continue dying from this crime you have committed," said Donald Moncayo, President of UDAPT. "Those of you who have families: Know that this damage that you have caused has broken family bonds, leaving children orphaned... Enough. This must stop. Chevron has to pay up.”

Ahead of the meeting, we also participated in the ninth annual Global Anti-Chevron Day where we rallied outside its notoriously dangerous refinery in solidarity with our Richmond neighbors and striking workers. Steven Donziger traveled to speak at the event, which included many from the Burmese-American community and messages of solidarity from affected communities in Ecuador, Nigeria, and Australia.

Once again, communities around the world united to send a message to Chevron’s management: Clean up your act, and stop profiting off the destruction of communities and the environment!
