Take Action Against Chevron Importing Amazonian Oil in El Segundo

Chevron, a Corporate Criminal on the run, responsible for one of the world’s largest environmental disasters in the Ecuadorian Amazon, continues to import Amazonian crude oil into its El Segundo (Los Angeles) Refinery from an off-shore marine terminal. They have refused to pay a $9.5 Billion judgement against them to the people of Ecuador, and continue to deny responsibility, all the while continuing to export petroleum from that region to California.

SoCal 350 Climate Action and our coalition of individuals and organizations in Southern California and beyond call on the California Coastal Commission and the California Energy Commission to revoke their permit to import crude until they pay the $9.5 billion fines and remediate the damage done to Indigenous peoples and communities in the Oriente region of Ecuador.
See how we’re taking action to oppose this as part of our Amazon Rainforest Defenders Series on EcoJustice Radio here.
