*Oil giant Chevron has poisoned the Amazon with 18 billion gallons of
toxic waste.* And for years, the oil giant has refused to pay to clean
up its mess.
But in a huge development, affected communities are *taking the fight to
the International Criminal Court.* While the international spotlight is
on Chevron, let's demand that it pays for its crimes!

Sandra,
Over three decades of oil drilling in the Ecuadorian Amazon, *Chevron
dumped more than 18 billion gallons of toxic wastewater into pristine
rainforest.*
The company *owes people living in the Amazon $9.5 billion -- but has
repeatedly refused to pay* up, using its immense wealth and corporate
influence to wriggle out of all responsibility. Now, we finally have a
chance to make Chevron face justice.
*Indigenous and farmer communities are taking their fight to the
International Criminal Court (ICC)*, a body that can legally prosecute
individuals and corporations for crimes of genocide, crimes against
humanity, and war crimes.
While the international community is listening, *it’s time to make
Chevron pay once and for all.* This is a true David and Goliath battle,
and the Ecuadorians need all the international support they can get.
Tell Chevron to take responsibility for 28 years of environmental and
social destruction, and pay what it owes to Ecuadorian communities.

*Texaco (now owned by Chevron) deliberately spilled billions of gallons
of toxic waste into Ecuador's pristine rainforest.* Tens of thousands of
people have suffered the consequences. The lawsuit filed with the ICC
alleges that through systemic harm inflicted over decades, Chevron’s
actions have effectively wiped out two ethnic groups completely.
This is corporate power at its worst. The company thinks it can get away
scot-free, because the area is remote and *the community cannot afford
to match Chevron's army of ruthless corporate lawyers. *It's repeatedly
refused to pay huge damages demanded by Ecuador's courts, even removing
all its assets from the country to avoid payment.
Ecuador and the 80 Amazon-dwelling communities directly affected have
been trying to bring Chevron to justice for years. But John Watson, the
company's CEO, has *promised them a “lifetime of litigation” saying he
would fight the case “until hell freezes over and then fight it out on
the ice. **This is pure bullying* -- by one of the world's richest
corporations -- of people who have lost everything.
The toxic oil waste *the company knowingly dumped in the Lago Agrio
region between 1964 and 1992 has devastated thousands of lives*. But
Chevron thinks it's above the law. It thinks it can get away with
killing people, poisoning the rainforest, and ignoring court rulings --
but *these are crimes against humanity.*
While the case is before the ICC, *Chevron's bosses are under massive
pressure to comply and pay Ecuadorians once and for all. *Now is the
time to speak up.
Sign the petition to Chevron: Pay for your crimes against Ecuadorian
communities. <
