This May 21 marks the 12th Global Anti-Chevron Day, born from the outrage of communities worldwide who joined together to confront Chevron’s legacy of destruction. From deliberately polluting the Ecuadorian Amazon to facing over $50 billion in global liabilities, Chevron continues to evade justice.
This year, Donald Moncayo, president of the Union of Peoples Affected by Chevron/Texaco in Ecuador (UDAPT), will travel to the Bay Area to expose Chevron’s ongoing harm in the Amazon and stand in solidarity with frontline communities like Richmond, California, also impacted by the oil giant’s toxic operations.
NBC News is there as a group of climate activists kayaked out near the Chevron refinery Sunday with a message for the East Bay-based global company.

On the eve of Chevron’s annual shareholder meeting, frontline communities sent a message for Chevron’s senior management, board of directors, and shareholders: clean up your act, and stop profiting off the destruction of communities and the environment!
