Chevron
6001 Bollinger Canyon Road
San ***
CHEVRON ACTION:
Tell Chevron Executives and Shareholders:
WE DEMAND PEACE, CLIMATE & ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, AND RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
CHEVRON: FUELING WARS AND ABUSING HUMAN RIGHTS & THE ENVIRONMENT
From Richmond to Ecuador, Nigeria, Canada, Philippines, Burma and Iraq
WED, MAY 28, 7am to 10:30am
Mass Theater Action and Demonstration
Chevron World Headquarters
6001 Bollinger Canyon Road, San ***, CA
Special Guests:
Luis Yanza, Ecuadorian Community Organizer and 2008 Goldman Environmental Award Recipient
Hugo Criollo, Ecuadorian Indigenous Leader
Omoyele Sowore, Nigerian human rights, pro-democracy and anti-corporate leader.
Larry Bowoto, Plaintiff in the lawsuit against Chevron for a landmark human rights case, Bowoto v. Chevron, which is set for trial in both
federal and state courts in San Francisco. Chevron has been charged with gross human
rights abuses arising from its use of the notorious Nigerian police and military against
those who protest the environmental and economic harm caused by Chevron's oil pro-
duction activities in the Niger Delta.
These leaders from Ecuador and Nigeria will demonstrate with Bay Area environmental justice, solidarity, antiwar, and human rights groups, and will also join supportive shareholders and organizers in confronting Chevron executives and shareholders inside their annual shareholder meeting. While we take action at the gates of Chevron World Headquarters (please come on time so we can greet the shareholders who arrive by 7:30am), some shareholders have filed a resolution demanding that Chevron report on the environmental laws in every country where it has operations, in an attempt to push for accountability.
