We're going toe-to-toe with Chevron.
|
| | | Surprise, surprise, Kathleen — | At this year's shareholder meeting, Chevron made their stance clear: they REFUSED to accept tougher emissions goals. They refused to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels. They intend to cling onto a fossil-fueled world for as long as possible. | And they made sure the meeting was held remotely, to ensure that climate advocates wouldn't have a chance to interrupt and speak up for what's right. | Here's what really makes us sick: last year, Chevron raked in over $36 BILLION in profits. This cash didn't flow back into the communities that their toxic products have poisoned around the globe, nor towards their "commitment" to be a part of the solution. | No — it flowed back into the pockets of the CEO, the board of Directors, the shareholders, the ads with blue skies and smiling faces, and the politicians paid to turn the other cheek. | We can't just wait for companies like Chevron to do the right thing. We need to be putting everything we can behind our work to hold them directly accountable for the harm they're causing — and for putting profits before the health of our planet. | For the next few days only, every donation to Greenpeace USA will become part of a match fund that could DOUBLE our movement's power in the fight to win a future where the survival of our planet and people never gets sidestepped in the pursuit of profits. Will you rush $10 or more to be the match that helps us go toe-to-to with climate culprits like Chevron? | | With our Earth's survival at stake, we've got to go toe-to-toe with corporations like Chevron and others. But we need your help to make sure they feel the burn — the responsibility that lies directly at their feet. | So please, Kathleen, will you rush $10 or more before midnight on August 29 to match future gifts and double our message's volume as we speak truth to Big Oil giants like Chevron and demand action to end the growing crisis facing the globe? | | Thanks for everything you do, Greenpeace USA | | | | | | |
