Amazon Watch Brings the Fight To Chevron's Doorstep
Amazon Watch Brings the Fight To Chevron's Doorstep
Posted: 05/17/11 03:08 PM ET

Today Amazon Watch, in partnership with the Rainforest Action Network, brought 3 Ecuadorian community activists to the United States. They will stop in New York City to meet with NGOs, Washington DC to speak with lawmakers, and finally to California where they will come face-to-face with Chevron's board of directors at their annual shareholders' meeting to confront them about the damage done to their homeland. We hope the trip and the public events surrounding the activists' journey will convey the breadth of damage done to the land and people of Ecuador due to Texaco's (now Chevron) drilling in a remote area of the Amazon rainforest.
