Sept 30 Recap! Check out a roundup of our Boycott Chevron week of action last week! We started with a quick action in DC on Friday, September 20. Then we went to New York and participated in two big actions: At Citibank HQ on Monday the 23rd with lots of gulf coast family and friends …

Congressional leadership has made a grave political error, and made the human rights crisis in Palestine worse by inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session on July 24. This misguided decision threatens to legitimize policies that have led to unprecedented suffering and loss of life in Gaza while undermining efforts for …

July 15 update — Join us Wednesday July 17 from 1130am for a rally to get everyone to boycott Chevron, including Citibank!

Citi, the main focus of our Summer of Heat actions in New York City this summer, is also funding genocide and war in Gaza. AND they’re one of the biggest investors in Chevron, the fossil fuel company literally extracting off the coast of Gaza to fuel Israel’s war machine. Citi is profiting off death and …
Like a lot of you, I’ve been horrified by the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and we’ve spoken out repeatedly and forcefully for a ceasefire, and in support of public protest and comment against the war.

But, as usual, the Biden Administration is paying more heed to corporate profits than they are to cutting …

Transportation accounts for nearly a third of total US climate pollution, and is the biggest individual source of climate pollution in US right now. Fortunately, the EPA is finalizing new rules for car and truck pollution right …
President Biden promised to cut global warming pollution in half by 2030, and to “net zero” by 2050. His EPA Administrator, Michael Regan, promised to prioritize environmental justice, and to protect overburdened communities like those in Louisiana’s cancer alley. Today, the EPA is breaking both promises – abandoning the people of Louisiana and Gulf south …

For more than a year now, we’ve been hearing the same lie about so-called permitting reform. The lie goes like this: America used to know how to build things. But then we invented a lot of environmental rules, like NEPA the National Environmental Policy Act, and environmentalists and especially communities of color got really good …
