Standing Up To Chevron

Five environmental activists with the Rainforest Action Network descended over the edge of the bottom level of the Richmond Bridge and unfurled a 30'x50' foot banner message directed at Chevron: "Chevron Guilty: Clean Up Amazon." The protest came two days before Chevron's Annual Shareholder meeting at its San Ramon, CA headquarters, the first shareholder meeting since the company was found guilty of massive oil contamination in the Ecuadorean Amazon and ordered to pay $18 billion dollars.

Hmm, the Roman empire lasted 500 or so years. If 25% of all fossil fuel ever consumed was in the last 10 years, I know, where did you get these figures! The party could be over sooner than later,no?

I Demand Justice from Chevron...

Well, it is not only about a legal dispute, it is not only about our ecosystem, it is not only about the Amazon and the people living there, it is also about social responsibility, what are we teaching our kids?, what example do we want leave behind for future generations to come? Chevron generates trillions in revenue, all we are asking is to pay for those with cancer and to pay to restore (not 100%) the ecosystem. The small share that they have to pay is minimal compared to what happened!
