Call Chevron to Account
Over the past 30 years, Chevron has carried out an astonishing campaign of environmental warfare against Ecuador's indigenous population. The company has dumped 18 billion (yes, billion) gallons of wastewater and spilled 17 million gallons of crude oil while drilling in the Ecuadorian Amazon, and native populations are suffering the consequences. Thousands have suffered from mouth and uterine cancer. Others have experienced spontaneous miscarriages.
Recently, an independent, court-appointed expert determined that Chevron's damages amount to around $27 billion. In spite of such a ruling -- one that has the support of over 30,000 Amazonians -- Chevron is promising a "lifetime of appellate and collateral litigation." This is unacceptable.
Now is your chance to make sure the corporation is called to account. Raise your voice here. Stop Chevron's abuses.
