We told the truth to Chevron! From May 26-28, FACES' co-chair Aileen Suzara traveled to Houston, Texas to face-off with Chevron at its annual shareholders meeting - joining with fierce activists from communities in California, Texas, and Alaska, to Canada, Ecuador, Nigeria, Colombia, Burma, Angola, Australia, Nigeria, Kazakhstan and more.
Activists traveled to with the purpose of addressing Chevron and its shareholders for its devastating impacts in their communities - from public health impacts to widespread environmental contamination.
Although equipped with valid proxies, dozens were denied entry into the meeting. Only several were allowed access, including FACES, who addressed their concerns to shareholders and closed down the meeting chanting "Chevron Lies." Outside, dozens organized a peaceful rally while several activists were arrested.
