Special Guests:
Luis Yanza, Ecuadorian Community Organizer and 2008
Goldman Environmental Award Recipient

Hugo Criollo, Ecuadorian Indigenous Leader

Omoyele Sowore, Nigerian human rights, pro-democracy
and anti-corporate leader.

Larry Bowoto, Plaintiff in the lawsuit against Chevron
for their 1998 flying of Nigerian soldiers by
helicopter to attack a nonviolent occupation of
Chevron’s Parabe offshore oil platforms. Two
activists were killed, others injured, and Bowoto
himself was tortured.

These leaders from Ecuador and Nigeria will
demonstrate with Bay Area environmental justice,
solidarity, antiwar, and human rights groups, and will
also join supportive shareholders and organizers in
confronting Chevron executives and shareholders inside
their annual shareholder meeting. While we take
action at the gates of Chevron World Headquarters
(please come on time so we can greet the shareholders
who arrive by 7:30am), some shareholders have filed a
resolution demanding that Chevron report on the
environmental laws in every country where it has
operations, in an attempt to push for accountability.
