Join the Chevron Boycott: Day of Action on November 22

On November 22, a global Day of Action will be held as part of the Boycott Chevron initiative. This movement, led by Palestinian activists, aims to highlight Chevron’s involvement in Israel and its responsibilities for human rights violations and environmental degradation.

The Role of Chevron in Israel

Citing its own disclosures, Chevron provides approximately 70% of Israel’s energy needs. This involvement supports a system that many describe as genocide and apartheid, directly undermining Palestinian rights. Since entering the Israeli market in 2020, Chevron has generated significant revenue for the Israeli government, reportedly amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

Activism Against Chevron

The Boycott Chevron campaign has mobilized activists worldwide. Key activities include:

• Protests outside Chevron-affiliated gas stations.
• Efforts to remove Chevron as a sponsor from various events.
• Community divestment campaigns targeting local governments and institutions.

Franchise owners of Chevron gas stations have also joined this movement, calling for the company to cease its operations in Israel. These grassroots actions have begun to show results, with several cities withdrawing from contracts with Chevron and community pressure leading to the withdrawal of sponsorships from various events.

Call to Action

Activists emphasize that every decline in Chevron’s profits or damage to its reputation increases pressure on the company to change its business practices. Consequently, community disruptions on November 22 are vital in highlighting the issues at hand.

Ways to Participate

On this day, participants are encouraged to:

• Picket or hold sit-ins at Chevron, Caltex, and Texaco locations.
• Organize educational events to inform the community about the impact of Chevron’s operations.
• Coordinate banner drops in areas with high visibility.

Individuals and groups wishing to participate in this action can register their events or locate nearby activities via a dedicated campaign map. To stay updated, follow the Boycott Chevron Instagram page for the latest information.
