Several days ago we asked you to take urgent action to tell the government of Ecuador to hold Chevron accountable for its deliberate Amazon pollution. Great news: it did!
Just in time, Ecuador formally appealed an award in Chevron's favor by an investor arbitration panel which is infamous for elevating corporate interests over the rights of local communities.
Amazon Watch supporters sent over 20,000 emails within a matter of hours in solidarity with affected communities and Ecuadorian civil society. They told Ecuador’s president, attorney general, and ambassador to the U.S. to defend the rights of the Ecuadorian people and reject Chevron’s efforts to escape justice.
The messages were heard loud and clear, and Ecuador will continue to appeal the “decision” that would have made its citizens pay the bill to clean up the 16 billion gallons of toxic oil waste that Chevron admitted to deliberately dumping in the Amazon.
