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."

As the Richmond Shoreline Alliance has pointed out, a full cleanup of the United Heckathorn Superfund site is needed to resolve the problem at its source--and avoid compounding consequences later https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/08/05/cleanup-of-toxic-richmond-waterway-creates-divisions/

Attention, Richmonders! The United Heckathorn Superfund site is a major source of pollutants contaminating #SFBay & the Richmond shoreline. The site was supposed to be cleaned up in the 90s, but that effort failed.
The EPA is working on a plan to get the site cleaned up and is holding a series of meetings to raise awareness and hear community concerns.
The next meeting will be held on Zoom on Wednesday, 5/21 from 6:30-8:00pm. The discussion will focus on why the first cleanup was ineffective.

Attention #Richmond residents! A Superfund site known as #UnitedHeckathorn is a major source of DDT and other pollutants contaminating the Bay and shoreline. The site was supposed to be cleaned up in the 90s, but that effort failed. We want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
On 4/23 the #EPA will host a Zoom call to engage with the community where they will describe why the last cleanup failed and the plan to move forward.
Please bring your questions for EPA and state officials! https://usepa.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/8SlhuBdVTZ-xuoEGnusbZA#/registration
