bay area confluence & action

What’s happening?
Chevron has been in the news A LOT this year. It’s one of the six “oil majors” - a company that has a decades long history of entering communities around the globe, sucking up the oil, and leaving communities polluted and sick. Now Chevron is poised to make nearly a billion dollars annually from Trump’s invasion of Venezuela. Chevron is also the largest provider of energy to Israel and is complicit in the genocide of the indigenous Palestinian people.
We are frontline communities impacted by Chevron’s extractive supply chain from unceded native lands from Ecuador to Alaska and the Alberta Tar Sands and Trans Mountain pipeline in Canada, to the pipelines and tankers that transport crude through the Salish Sea and Pacific Northwest, brought to the refineries in California.
We are fed up! We are calling communities across the Americas to join us in the Bay Area this May for a series of events and peaceful actions to call out Chevon’s crimes, take action, and strengthen our community of resistance. You can learn more about the history of Anti-Chevron day here.
why chevron?
Chevron has a lengthy history of human rights violations that have led to it being found liable for at least $55 billion in judgments, interest, and seizure claims globally for environmental damages and human rights violations.
They are currently requesting to expand refining capacity at their Gulf coast refineries in what is known as “cancer alley” to refine more Venezuelan oil, adding to the highest pollution burden for local communities in the US.
Chevron is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than any other investor-owned oil company in history and its deliberate contamination of the Ecuadorian Amazon remains the largest oil related environmental disaster ever.
Most recently, they entered the Israeli energy market in 2020 and are the largest provider of fossil gas and energy to Israel and their campaign of destruction against the Palestinian people. They are a key target of the Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. They partially own and operate gas fields and a pipeline off the coast of occupied Palestine and provide most of Israel’s energy, along with over a billion dollars in taxes, fees and royalties.
