šØ Join the Global Call to Boycott Chevron: January 31 - February 2! āš



The Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) Movement, the largest coalition of Palestinian civil society, is sounding the alarm: it's time to take action against Chevron! From January 31 to February 2, the Boycott Chevron Weekend of Action will amplify global efforts to hold Chevron accountable for its role in funding Israel's apartheid regime and fueling the climate crisis. Letās break it down!
š„ Why Chevron?
Chevron isnāt just another gas companyāitās one of the biggest enablers of injustice worldwide. Hereās why theyāre in the spotlight:
1ļøā£ Funding Israelās Genocide in Gaza
Chevron plays a direct role in sustaining Israelās war machine. They co-own major fossil gas fields in the Eastern Mediterranean, providing energy and millions of dollars in revenue to a regime that has:
- Bombed hospitals, homes, and schools, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza.
- Starved 2.3 million Palestinians by cutting off access to food, clean water, and fuel.
Chevronās profits from these projects are stained with the blood of countless victims.
2ļøā£ Destroying the Planet
Chevronās actions extend far beyond Palestine. From Ecuador to Myanmar, Chevronās fossil fuel operations have wreaked havoc on Indigenous communities, polluted ecosystems, and exacerbated the climate crisis.
3ļøā£ Profiting From Oppression
Chevron CEO Mike Wirth has admitted that the companyās gas fields in the region have been impacted by Israelās war on Gaza. Investing in genocide isnāt just immoralāitās bad business.
š What Weāve Achieved So Far
The Boycott Chevron campaign has already gained massive momentum:
ā
Tens of thousands of people have pledged to boycott Chevron gas stations.
ā
Dozens of groups have organized pickets at Chevron, Caltex, and Texaco locations worldwide.
ā
At least three cities have divested from Chevron, with more to follow.
Big Oil is starting to feel the pressureābut we need YOU to join the fight and take it to the next level.
š How YOU Can Take Action
Hereās how to get involved in the Boycott Chevron Weekend of Action (Jan 31 - Feb 2):
š 1. Boycott Chevron Gas Stations
Refuse to fuel up at Chevron, Caltex, or Texaco gas stations. Every dollar withheld is a stand against oppression and environmental destruction.
š 2. Send a Message to Chevronās CEO
Weāre mobilizing 100,000 letters to Chevron CEO Mike Wirth. Let him know youāre boycotting until Chevron ends its complicity in Israelās apartheid regime. Use this message:
āI am joining the growing global boycott of Chevron, demanding that your company no longer conduct business that gravely violates Palestinian human rights and benefits Israelās genocidal regime of apartheid.ā
š¢ 3. Organize or Join a Local Protest
Host or attend a picket at your local Chevron station. Use this form to let the BDS Movement know about your event so it can be amplified on social media.
š± 4. Spread the Word
Share posts, infographics, and stories about Chevronās complicity on your social media channels. Use hashtags like #BoycottChevron and #FreePalestine to amplify the message.
š„ Why Boycotts Work
If history has taught us anything, itās that boycotts are powerful tools for change.
- In the 70s and 80s, a global boycott of Shell successfully pressured the company to divest from apartheid South Africa.
- Now, with millions of activists behind the BDS Movement, we have a unique opportunity to replicate that success by targeting Chevron.
Big corporations only understand one language: profit loss. Together, we can make Chevron pay a heavy price for its role in genocide and climate destruction.
