Tell Chevron to divest from Israel! 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.
Join for hot drinks, dialogue, and art outside Chevron Government's Affairs Office the day before the company's quarterly earnings are announced.
Chevron has a range of assets in Israel: it operates and partially owns the largest Israeli natural gas fields, Tamar and Leviathan, located in the eastern Mediterranean sea; it also operates and partially owns the East Mediterranean Gas Pipeline, which runs from Israel to Egypt, off the shores of the Gaza Strip. In 2022, Chevron made an estimated $1.5 billion in revenue from Tamar and Leviathan gas sales and the Israeli state received $462 million in tax revenue. Chevron entered the Israeli market in 2020, with the acquisition of Noble Energy. It can choose to sell off this investment at any time.
This event is part of a week of action with the national campaign to tell Chevron: stop fueling genocide.
