Chevron get out of Burma & Stop fueling brutal dictatorship immediately! !
GET OUT OF BURMA,
CLEAN UP YOUR ACT, NOT YOUR IMAGE!
DEMAND AN END TO CHEVRON’S HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES, WAR PROFITEERING, CLIMATE CHAOS, & TOXIC POLLUTION!
WED, MAY 27, 7am to 10:30am
Demonstration and Subvertisement Theater
Chevron Corporate Headquarters
6001 Bollinger Canyon Road, San Ramon, CA
Please make signs: Chevron Out of Burma; Chevron: Burmese Blood on your hand; Chevron Prospers, Burmese Suffer; Chevron Pipe line = Burma Dictator's Life Line; Chevron: Your wealth is our Blood; Chevron Gains, Burma's Pain
WHY: Chevron Corp. of San Ramon (formerly Unocal), a California oil corporation, is involved in a joint-venture with Burma’s brutal and repressive military regime. The military maintains its stranglehold on Burma’s people with weapons bought with foreign currency gained from natural gas sale to Thailand through Chevron's pipeline, the regime's lifeline. While the electricity is scarce in Burma, the regime pockets hundreds of millions annually. As the world has witnessed repeatedly in recent years, soldiers and military thugs have been crushing the pro-democracy protests. Many activists and monks have been disrobed, beaten, humiliated, tortured, and killed. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is still under house arrest and 2,000 pro democracy monks and activists are being held in inhumane conditions in Burmese prisons.
To stop the military dictatorship in Burma, we must stop the Chevron involvement in Burma.
