From Supporter to Organizer: How to Take Action with the Boycott Chevron campaign

by US Campaign for Palestinian Rights

Chevron has its figurative fingerprints on destroyed homes around the globe:

Chevron has, through its business extracting natural gas for Israel, funneled over $462 million in tax revenue to Israeli government coffers. That money fuels the bombing of Gaza and the violent displacement of Palestinians, destroying or damaging 92% of homes in Gaza.

At the same time, Chevron was responsible for 3.2% of global fossil fuel emissions in 2017, which worsened the LA fires that burnt 12,000 homes to the ground.

The Boycott Chevron campaign is an opportunity to take our skills from 15 months of mass mobilizing protests and apply them to a strategic target. Everyone can be part of a push to hold Chevron accountable for poisoning people and our planet! We can follow in the footsteps of successful 1980s boycott wins against multinational corporations that enabled South African apartheid.

Learn specifics of how to take coordinated action together January 31-February 2 for the #BoycottChevron: Weekend of Action:
