Take Action Now to Help Defend Communities in the Amazon and Hold Chevron (formerly ChevronTexaco) Accountable!
For over four decades, Indigenous communities have witnessed multinational oil companies cut through their ancestral lands in search of the country's vast petroleum resources. According to the report "Amazon Crude", Texaco was responsible for dumping 19 billion gallons of toxic wastewater into the region, contaminating the drinking water of Ecuador's Amazon communities who are suffering the consequences up to this day. Texaco merged with Chevron in 2001.
