Chevron gas fuels nearly 50% of Israel’s electricity grid, which includes Israeli military bases, prisons, and settlements. Chevron’s gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea play a key role in keeping Israel’s genocide machine running.
CODEPINK is answering the Palestinian BDS movement's call on supporters worldwide to participate in Anti-Chevron Day on Wednesday, May 21. Anti Chevron Day is a global day of action protesting Chevron’s historical and ongoing climate destruction and violations of human rights globally, especially in the Amazon basin in Latin America.
Anti-Chevron Day falls one week before Chevron’s annual shareholder meeting (AGM). At the upcoming 2025 AGM, shareholders will vote on a proposal calling on Chevron to audit its human rights abuses worldwide. This is a crucial time for us to mobilize! We know that Chevron is feeling the heat!
Sign the petition below to show Chevron that our demands are backed by thousands worldwide! Tell Chevron: We’re Boycotting Until You Stop Fueling Genocide!
Chevron CEO Mike Wirth,
We, the undersigned individuals against genocide, demand that Chevron divest from its projects in Israel and immediately end its support for Israel’s regime of genocide and apartheid against Indigenous Palestinians. We are part of the growing global boycott of Chevron, led by the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, demanding that your company no longer conduct business that gravely violates Palestinian human rights and benefits Israel’s genocidal regime.
Israel’s genocide machine couldn’t run without power from Chevron. As Israel bombs hospitals, homes, universities, and UN schools in Gaza, Chevron supplies light and energy via the operation and co-ownership of two major Israeli-claimed fossil gas fields in the Mediterranean. Beyond generating power, Chevron’s extraction activities are funneling millions of dollars in tax revenues to Israeli government coffers, directly fueling Israel’s system of settler colonialism and violence against all Palestinians. In 2022, those revenues amounted to over $462 million.
We condemn Chevron’s role in fueling Israel’s apartheid and the ongoing genocide in Palestine. We pledge to boycott Chevron until you end your complicity in these human rights abuses in Palestine. We demand that Chevron immediately cut its contracts with genocidal Israel, and end its role in climate devastation globally.
