The True Cost of Chevron

Chevron has been causing destruction to everything they touch. For instance their operations have caused harm to the people in Nigeria by destroying their livelihoods in the local Niger Delta. For the past decade they have been responsible for countless abuses in Nigeria.

Read more about Chevron's destructive practices in Nigeria and around the world here.

 

350.org has launched a new campaign to stop oil subsidies that give tax breaks to companies like Chevron. Our tax dollars are contributing to destruction in places like Nigeria and it looks like the American public wants no part of this. Over 100,000 people have signed a new bill to put an end these handouts.

Here in California, 350.org has put together two events to put pressure on Chevron.

Please join environmental leaders from Nigeria, Angola, Brazil, and Ecuador at a teach-in in Berkeley and a protest at a Chevron shareholder meeting. Details below:
