At #Chevron’s Gates, Communities Demand #Justice and a #FossilFree Future
#AntiChevron Day 2026 united communities fighting #extraction, #EnvironmentalRacism, and #corporate impunity across continents
May 21, 2026 | Paul Paz y Miño
"Nearly three decades after communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon first brought global attention to Chevron’s crimes, and 13 years after activists launched the first Anti-Chevron Day in 20 countries, the resistance continues. Chevron remains one of the most polluting companies on Earth – and one of the most determined to avoid accountability for it.
Anti-Chevron Day
"For the 13th year running, Anti-Chevron Day brought frontline leaders from across the globe to the shadow of Chevron’s #RichmondCA refinery, where communities gathered with anger, grief, music, ceremony, and determination to confront one of the world’s most destructive oil companies.
"The gathering came just weeks after the historic First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta, #Colombia, where Indigenous leaders and governments demanded an urgent and just transition away from the fossil fuel economy that continues to poison the territories and devastate the health of frontline communities worldwide. In Richmond, that demand felt immediate and deeply personal. It is being shaped by the people most directly harmed by extraction and pollution, and by movements building solidarity across borders.
"Chevron must clean up its '#RainforestChernobyl' in the #EcuadorianAmazon!
"For over three decades, Chevron chose profit over people. While drilling in the Ecuadorian Amazon from 1964 to 1990, it deliberately dumped more than 16 billion gallons of #ToxicWastewater, spilled roughly 17 million gallons of #CrudeOil, and left #HazardousWaste in hundreds of open pits dug out of the forest floor."

Parts of #Spain appear to merge with the sea after historic #rain in before-and-after images
The deadly #flooding that rocked Spain this week following intense, historic #rainfall is so expansive and severe the area looked like an inland sea from space.
By Mary Gilbert, CNN Meteorologist
Published Nov 1, 2024CNN - "The deadly flooding that rocked Spain this week following intense, historic rainfall is so expansive and severe the area looked like an inland sea from space.
"A year’s worth of rain fell in just hours in east-central Spain Tuesday, creating a surge of floodwater that broke the banks of rivers, turned streets into raging rapids and washed away cars and bridges.
"At least 155 people were killed in the #CatastrophicFloods — the type of extreme rainfall event becoming all too frequent as the world warms due to #FossilFuelPollution.
"Parts of the area now look like an extension of the #BalearicSea after unprecedented rainfall turned what should be dry ground into a vast expanse of water, satellite imagery captured on October 30 shows.
"#Floodwaters appear as various shades of blue and cover what was dry ground (browns and greens) earlier this month, the imagery shows. The dramatic, widespread coverage of floodwater over inland areas has almost turned coastal areas into islands.
"Waterways that were hardly noticeable in the 'before' satellite image from earlier in the month — like the one that cuts just south of Valencia’s city center — are now highlighted in bright blue, indicating how swollen they are."
