In 2011, the victims of Chevron's oil pollution in Ecuador won a historic $9.5 billion legal judgement to collect compensation and restoration costs from Chevron. The giant oil company, however, has refused to pay and has launched retaliatory legal attacks against the victims and their lawyers.
“Chevron, clean up your mess!”
Maria Cecilia Herrera shows the oil that saturates the land in Pozo Aguarico, Ecuador, 28 years after oil operations ceased. Chevron / Texaco dumped 16 billion gallons of toxic waste in Ecuador’s Amazon basin.
Our mission is to help collect the money that Chevron owes its victims so that the people of Ecuador's Amazon Basin can address their health crises and restore their lands, their water, and their ravaged communities.
