This should be a time when Chevron embraces the inevitable passing of the fossil fuel age. It should be a time when Chevron redirects its resources to sustainable energy sources. It should be a time when Chevron apologizes for its human rights record and compensates the people it has injured. It should be a time for admitting mistakes and rethinking the future. Instead, Chevron has again chosen the same tired path - a path of greenwashing, lies, extreme disregard for human rights and health, and single-minded pursuit of maximum profit even if it means the destruction of all that we value. But this year is different in one very important way. This year the communities impacted by Chevron's operations and the allies of those communities, including Global Exchange, won't allow Chevron's glossy annual report to go unchallenged. This year we have banded together to tell the truth about Chevron and its activities in an unprecedented alternative annual report entitled "The True Cost of Chevron." "The True Cost of Chevron" was released today and is now available for download. Members of impacted communities, along with Global Exchange and its allies, will be on hand at Chevron headquarters for its Annual General Meeting early in the morning on Wednesday, May 27th. We refuse to let Chevron celebrate profitability without responsibility. We will be there to tell the truth and report back to you. Here's how you can be part of this growing worldwide movement. Take Action Watch Democracy Now. Antonia Juhasz, the lead author of "The True Cost of Chevron" appeared on Democracy Now to discuss the alternative annual report.
