As a major contributor to the global climate crisis, Chevron has devastated indigenous communities throughout the world. This year the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement has called for an escalation in consumer boycott and divestment campaigns against Chevron for its role in the genocide of the Palestinian people.
Chevron operates the two largest natural gas fields in Israel, and has announced plans to invest another $429 million in the Leviathan gas field. By bringing Israel billions of dollars in investment, Chevron fuels the occupation of Palestine and denies Palestinian people sovereignty over their natural resources. Campaigns around the country have arisen to mobilize people of conscience against this polluting ally of Zionist colonialism, including here in the Metro DC area.
Come to the “Stop Fueling Genocide” Socialist Night School and campaign launch to learn more about the BDS campaign targeting Chevron, as well as Chevron’s pattern of environmental destruction throughout the Global South. Hear from our speakers on BDS campaigns from the past and present in a conversational setting, and learn how to plug into DMV area Palestine solidarity organizing.
