Join frontline neighbors and many thousands of others around the globe for the 8th annual Global Anti-Chevron Day. Communities from Richmond to Ecuador to Myanmar will come together in advance of Chevron’s annual shareholders’ meeting to share stories about the impact of Chevron’s environmental destruction, human rights violations, and corruption of our politics.
For over a century, Chevron has poisoned residents of Richmond and the whole S.F. Bay Area with deadly air pollution from its refinery. Its influence over Richmond politics and nonprofits is legendary—but we’re winning victories in fighting it!
Communities around the globe—in Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Burma (Myanmar) and elsewhere—suffer from Chevron’s deadly water, soil, and air pollution as well as inhumane working conditions and political interference. Chevron denies any responsibility and continues its destruction in order to keep the oil and profits flowing.
