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. Letā€™s break it down!

šŸ’„ Why Chevron?

Chevron isnā€™t just another gas companyā€”itā€™s one of the biggest enablers of injustice worldwide. Hereā€™s why theyā€™re in the spotlight:

1ļøāƒ£ Funding Israelā€™s Genocide in Gaza

Chevron plays a direct role in sustaining Israelā€™s 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.

Chevronā€™s profits from these projects are stained with the blood of countless victims.

2ļøāƒ£ Destroying the Planet

Chevronā€™s actions extend far beyond Palestine. From Ecuador to Myanmar, Chevronā€™s fossil fuel operations have wreaked havoc on Indigenous communities, polluted ecosystems, and exacerbated the climate crisis.

3ļøāƒ£ Profiting From Oppression

Chevron CEO Mike Wirth has admitted that the companyā€™s gas fields in the region have been impacted by Israelā€™s war on Gaza. Investing in genocide isnā€™t just immoralā€”itā€™s bad business.

šŸš€ What Weā€™ve Achieved So Far

The Boycott Chevron campaign has already gained massive momentum:
āœ… Tens of thousands of people have pledged to boycott Chevron gas stations.
āœ… Dozens of groups have organized pickets at Chevron, Caltex, and Texaco locations worldwide.
āœ… At least three cities have divested from Chevron, with more to follow.

Big Oil is starting to feel the pressureā€”but we need YOU to join the fight and take it to the next level.

šŸŒŽ How YOU Can Take Action

Hereā€™s how to get involved in the Boycott Chevron Weekend of Action (Jan 31 - Feb 2):

šŸ›‘ 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.

šŸ“ 2. Send a Message to Chevronā€™s CEO

Weā€™re mobilizing 100,000 letters to Chevron CEO Mike Wirth. Let him know youā€™re boycotting until Chevron ends its complicity in Israelā€™s apartheid regime. Use this message:

ā€œI am joining the growing global boycott of Chevron, demanding that your company no longer conduct business that gravely violates Palestinian human rights and benefits Israelā€™s genocidal regime of apartheid.ā€

šŸ“¢ 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.

šŸŒ± 4. Spread the Word

Share posts, infographics, and stories about Chevronā€™s complicity on your social media channels. Use hashtags like #BoycottChevron and #FreePalestine to amplify the message.

šŸ”„ Why Boycotts Work

If history has taught us anything, itā€™s 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.

šŸ¾ Boycat Makes Activism Easy

Feeling overwhelmed about where to start? Thatā€™s where Boycat comes in.

šŸšØ The Fight Isnā€™t Over

The recent ceasefire in Gaza is not the end of the struggle for justice. Palestinians remain under occupation, apartheid persists, and corporations like Chevron continue to profit from oppression.

But together, we can make a difference. The Boycott Chevron Weekend of Action is a chance to show the world that people power works.

Letā€™s stand up for Palestine. Letā€™s hold corporations accountable. And letā€™s prove that our collective actions can shape a better future.
