Local Boycott Chevron Petition
Carla Betts
Please sign this petition to pressure Oakland Chevron franchise stations owner Carla Betts to protest Chevron's complicity in war crimes in Gaza. Several US Chevron station franchisees have joined this protest, signing a letter to the CEO. Let's add Oakland franchise stations to the protest!
Israel's genocidal war machine couldn't run without power from Chevron. As Israel obliterates hospitals, homes, universities, cropland and UN schools in Gaza, Chevron supplies the energy, operating two major Israeli-claimed fossil gas fields in the Mediterranean.
The largest coalition in Palestinian civil society, the BDS National Committee, has called for a worldwide boycott of Chevron's gas stations until Chevron cancels its contracts with Israel and stops profiting from genocide and apartheid.

We, the undersigned, are your neighbors and customers who live, shop, work, worship, and dine near your Chevron station. Although this is a convenient location for fueling our cars, we are joining the growing global boycott of Chevron.
We believe in our collective responsibility to bring an end to the relentless war being waged by the State of Israel against Palestinian people. Tens of thousands of Gazans have been killed with countless more buried beneath the rubble. The survivors are being left to die slowly, as Israel cuts off access to food, clean water and healthcare to 2.2 million people.
These human rights abuses depend on Chevron’s complicity in supplying Israel’s war machine. As a franchisee, you are the public face of Chevron in our community, whether or not you support these actions. Tens of thousands of people around the world are boycotting Chevron, which could significantly impact the livelihood of franchises and affiliates bearing the Chevron logo.
Chevron’s operations in Israel began in 2020; they could pull out without losing long-term investments in those operations. The boycott will continue until Chevron ceases operations in the State of Israel and ceases conducting business that enables deadly human rights abuses suffered by children, families, and all the people of Gaza. By joining us in voicing these concerns to Chevron corporate, you are amplifying the call for Chevron to cancel contracts with the State of Israel.
Please join us. Sign the letter provided to urge the Chevron corporation to cease doing business with the State of Israel and enabling the destruction of lives and land in Gaza. We also urge you to display our sign in your window, protesting the Chevron corporation’s human rights abuses.
