Shame on Chevron

After a nearly 18-year-long struggle pitting indigenous communities against the world's fifth largest corporation--Chevron, was found GUILTY of massive environmental contamination in the Ecuadorian Amazon and ordered to pay $8.6 billion to clean up its mess, provide potable water, and fund health care.

I stand with Global Exchange and other allies in celebration and solidarity with the 30,000 plaintiffs who have achieved this tremendous milestone in their struggle for justice.

But just as is the case in Egypt, the struggle is not over. Chevron has announced that it will not pay and that it will appeal the ruling.
