December 7th: Tell Chevron “Our Climate Is Not Your Business!”

December 7th: Tell Chevron “Our Climate Is Not Your Business!”

On the first day of international climate change negotiations in Copenhagen, join the Mobilization for Climate Justice at the headquarters of one of the world’s worst climate polluters to tell them “our climate is not your business!”
When: Monday, December 7th, 7am
Where: Chevron Corporate Headquarters 6001 Bollinger Canyon Road, San Ramon, CA
How to get to Chevron’s headquarters (by car, carpool, or public transit)

We need volunteers who are willing to risk arrest to make a difference and send a clear message to Chevron. If you’re thinking about participating in non-violent civil disobedience at this action, come to the orientation/action planning meeting on December 6th (4-7pm) and attend a non-violent direct action training if you are new to civil disobedience.

Why Chevron? Chevron is one of the world’s worst climate criminals. Below are all the reasons why we’re targeting Chevron and asking them to stop blocking climate solutions: Chevron publicly rejects science-based emissions targets:

  • Chevron publicly opposes the Kyoto Protocol.
  • Incoming CEO John Watson has publicly stated that reducing greenhouse gas emissions 20% below 2005 levels by 2020 is not possible, and current CEO David O’Reilly has spoken out against the science-based target of reducing emissions 80% by 2050. See article
