Participate in the Chevron Boycott Action Day on November 22
A global Day of Action is scheduled for November 22 as part of the Boycott Chevron initiative. This campaign, led by Palestinian activists, aims to draw attention to Chevron’s role in Israel and its implications for human rights and environmental degradation.
The Role of Chevron in Israel
Chevron is a major player in the Israeli energy market, supplying about 70% of the country’s energy needs. Since its entry into this market in 2020, the company has generated substantial revenue for the Israeli government, reportedly hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Many activists argue that this involvement supports a system characterized by oppression and violations of Palestinian rights.
Activism Against Chevron
The Boycott Chevron campaign has mobilized supporters globally. Activists have engaged in various grassroots actions, including:
- Protests outside Chevron-affiliated gas stations
- Efforts to eliminate Chevron sponsorship from events
- Community divestment initiatives targeting local governments and institutions
Franchise owners of Chevron gas stations have also lent their voices to this cause, urging the company to cease its operations in Israel. These efforts have already yielded results, with several cities retracting contracts with Chevron and increased community pressure leading to the cancellation of sponsorships at many events.
Call to Action
Activists believe that decreasing Chevron’s profits or damaging its reputation can compel the company to reconsider its business practices. Thus, the disruptions planned for November 22 are crucial in emphasizing these significant issues.
Ways to Participate
Participants on this Day of Action are encouraged to:
- Picket or hold sit-ins at Chevron, Caltex, and Texaco locations
- Organize educational events to raise awareness about Chevron’s impact
- Coordinate visible banner drops in high-traffic areas
Individuals and groups interested in joining this initiative can register their events or find nearby activities through a dedicated campaign map. For ongoing updates, following the Boycott Chevron Instagram page is recommended.
